1. Refrain

 Davy's on the road again,

wearing different clothes again.

Davy's turning handouts down,

  to keep his pockets clean.

 All his goods are sold again,

his word's as good as gold again.

Says if you see Jean now ask her,

please, to pity me.

2. Strophe

 Jean and I we've moved along,

 since the day, down in the hollow.

 When the mind went drifting on,

 and the feet were soon to follow.

2. Refrain

 Davy's on the road again,

wearing different clothes again.

Davy's turning handouts down,

  to keep his pockets clean.

 Saying his good bye's again,

wheels are in his eyes again.

Says if you see Jean now ask her,

please, to pity me.

2. Strophe

 Downtown in the big town,

 gonna set you back on your heels.

 With a mouth full of memories,

 and a load of stickers for my windshield.

Shut the door, cut the light,

Davy won't be home tonight.

You can wait 'til the dawn rolls in,

you won't see our Davy again.

Bridge:

Davy's on the road again.

Davy's on the road again.

3. Refrain

 Davy's on the road again,

wearing different clothes again.

Davy's turning handouts down,

  to keep his pockets clean.

 All his goods are sold again,

his word's as good as gold again.

Says if you see Jean now ask her,

please, to pity me.

3. Strophe

 Jean and I we've moved along,

 since the day, down in the hollow.                           

 When the mind went drifting on,             

 and the feet were soon to follow.

Coda

 Davy's on the road again,

wearing different clothes again.

Davy's turning handouts down,

  to keep his pockets clean...
