Biography:
Big Bill Broonzy (June 26, 1893 – August 15, 1958) was a prolific American blues singer, songwriter and guitarist. His career began in the 1920s when he played country blues to mostly African-American audiences. Through the 1930s and 1940s he successfully navigated a transition in style to a more urban blues sound popular with working class African-American audiences. In the 1950s a return to his traditional folk-blues roots made him one of the leading figures of the emerging American folk music revival and an international star.

I got the key to the highway, I'm booked out and bound to go, I'm gonna leave
E A E
here running, ain't coming back no more
I'm going back to the border, where I'm better known, I'm gonna ride this old
highway, ain't coming back no more
Give me one more kiss, mama, just before I go, I'm gonna leave here running,
ain't coming back no more
Now, when the moon peeks over the mountain, yeah.. You know I'll be on my way
I'm gonna walk, walk this ol' highway, deep until the break of day
So long and good-bye, yes, I had to say good-bye,
'Cause I'm gonna walk, walk this ol' highway, deep 'til the day I die
