Ray Charles – Hit the Road Jack

Posted in Songs | 2 comments

This 1961 number one hit, is one of my favorite oldies. In fact, it’s my favorite Ray Charles tune. It’s so catchy that many artistes covered it. I believe it’s famous with US sports fans when they’re booing the opponent team with this song.

Ray Charles – Hit the Road Jack

Hit the Road Jack and don’tcha come back
No more no more no more no more,
Hit the Road Jack and don’tcha come back
No more
What’d you say

Old woman old woman, oh you treat me so mean,
You’re the meanest old woman that I ever have seen,
Well I guess if you say so
I’ll have to pack my things and go (that’s right)

Now Baby, listen Baby, don’t you treat me this-a way
‘Cause I’ll be back on my feet some day,
Don’t care if you do, cause it’s understood,
You got no money, and you just ain’t no good
Well I guess if you say so
I’ll have to pack my things and go (that’s right)
