Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hit the road, Jack, and don't you come back
No more, no more, no more, no more
Hit the road, Jack, and don't you come back no more
(What you say?)
Hit the road, Jack, and don't you come back
No more, no more, no more, no more
Hit the road, Jack, and don't you come back no more
[Verse 2]
Oh, woman, oh, woman, don't treat me so mean
You're the meanest old woman that I've ever seen
I guess if you say so I'll have to pack my things and go
[Verse 3]
That's right
Hit the road, Jack, and don't you come back
No more, no more, no more, no more
Hit the road, Jack, and don't you come back no more
(What you say?)
Hit the road, Jack, and don't you come back
No more, no more, no more, no more
Hit the road, Jack, and don't you come back no more
[Verse 4]
Now baby, listen, baby, don't you treat me this way
Girl, I'll be back on my feet someday
(Don't care if you do 'cause it's understood)
(You ain't got no money, you just ain't no good)
Well, I guess if you say so I'll have to pack my things and go
[Verse 5]
That's right
Hit the road, Jack, and don't you come back
No more, no more, no more, no more
Hit the road, Jack, and don't you come back no more
(What you say?)
Hit the road, Jack, and don't you come back
No more, no more, no more, no more
Hit the road, Jack, and don't you come back no more
[Verse 6]
Well (Don't you come back no more)
Uh, what you say? (Don't you come back no more)
I didn't understand you (Don't you come back no more)
You can't mean that (Don't you come back no more)
Oh, now, baby, please (Don't you come back no more)
What you trying to do to me? (Don't you come back no more)
Oh, don't treat me like that, baby (Don't you come back no more)
