Touble on the Turnpike Songtext

von Roger Miller

Well it wasn't long ago that my true blue Sally
Said she's gettin' tired of livin' in the valley
Wants to go back to Lousian
See big papa he's a gumbo man

Trouble on the turnpike, trouble on the road
Trouble on the turnpike, too big a load
Yay ha and a hoopy do ee
Goodbye valley from my Sally and me

Well to keep Sally happy I'd do all I can
To keep her that way takes a whole lot of man
Lousiana woman's tired of Californy
Ain't enough gumbo here for me

Trouble on the turnpike, trouble on the road
Trouble on the turnpike, too big a load
Yay ha and a hoopy do ee
Goodbye valley from my Sally and me
