Classic 8 bar blues, covered by just about everybody. Its a "must do"
pretty much.
Almost as many verses as artists that have covered it.
Verse 4 here is from an old acoustic version I've only heard once.
Unfortunately I've forgotten the artist's name.KEY TO THE HIGHWAY ©
1941 BIG BILL BROONZY, CHARLES SEGAR; DUCHESS MUSIC
I GOT THE KEY, KEY TO THE HIGHWAY, ALL BILLED AND BOUND TO GO.
I'M MONA LEAVE HERE RUNNIN', 'CAUSE WALKIN' IS MOST TOO SLOW.
I'M GOIN' BACK, BACK TO THE BORDER, LORD WHERE I'M BETTER KNOWN.
I'M GOIN' BACK TO THE BORDER, AND ALL YOU CAN DO IS MOAN.
GIVE ME ONE, ONE LAST KISS BABY, OH JUST BEFORE I GO.
'CAUSE WHEN I LEAVE THIS TIME, I WON'T BE BACK NO MORE.
OH WITCHY WAY, WITCHY WAY BORDER WOMAN, YOU LIKE YOUR ROLLIN' DONE?
LORD WITH YOUR BACK TO THE GROUND, OR FACE TO THE RISIN' SUN?
I GOT THE KEY, THE KEY TO THE HIGHWAY, ALL BILLED AND BOUND TO GO.
I'M GONNA LEAVE HERE A RUNNIN', 'CAUSE WALKIN' IS MOST TOO SLOW.
