Biography:
“Some folks might say our music has always been what you call ‘eclectic,’” says John Doe of the Knitters. “Well, OK. As A.P. Carter used to say to me when we’d go song-hunting in the Clinch Mountains, ‘Buddy, it’s all music, y’know.’”
The Knitters — Doe, co-lead vocalist Exene Cervenka, guitarist Dave Alvin, bassist Jonny Ray Bartel, and drummer D.J. Bonebrake — have been rambling a tangled map of American musical highways since way back in the 20th century.

G C
Drinkin' all night in a tavern
C D G
My head is a mighty heavy load
G C
I feel like I've been run over
C D G
Like a poor little critter on the road
chorus:
G C
Poor little critter on the road,
D G
Where were you tryin' to go?
G C
Life's got a bucket full of woes for
D G
The poor little critter on the road, oh
D G (riff)
The poor little critter on the road
I must have had me a good time
Cause I'm feelin so poorly today
Somehow I can't quite remember,
That's one of the prices that you pay
(repeat chorus) (riff)
I can remember the drinkin'
And dancin on into the night
Somethin' about some romancin'
Then I started up a fight
variation of chorus:
Well I feel like a critter on the road
Maybe I want to get knowed
Life's got a bucket of woes for
The poor little critter on the road, oh
The poor little critter on the road
