Song title: Further on up the road (cover)

(Veasey, Robey) by Bobby 'Blue' Bland (Duke 170), 1957

Further on up the road (cover)

Further on up the road someone's gonna hurt you like you hurt me.
Further on up the road someone's gonna hurt you like you hurt me.
Further on up the road, baby, just you wait and see.

You gotta reap just what you sow; that old saying is true.
You gotta reap just what you sow; that old saying is true.
Just like you mistreat someone, someone's gonna mistreat you.

You been laughing, pretty baby, someday you're gonna be crying.
You been laughing, pretty baby, someday you're gonna be crying.
Further on up the road you'll find out I wasn't lying.

Further on up the road someone's gonna hurt you like you hurt me.
Further on up the road someone's gonna hurt you like you hurt me.
Further on up the road, baby, just you wait and see.
Further on up the road, when you're all alone and blue
Further on up the road, when you're all alone and blue
You're gonna want me back,
But I'll have somebody new.

Notes: Also recorded by Eric Clapton
