Stranded By the Road

by

Hardy Parkerson

I'm stranded by the road,
Carryin' a heavy load;
Just waitin' for a man
To lend a helpin' hand.

It's hard bein' poor:
No cables for my car.
You must have money first,
But I've and empty purse.

New cars whiz right on by;
They honk and then I cry;
I'm stranded by the road
And carryin' a heavy load.

I used the telephone
And placed a call to home
To see if someone was able
To bring some jumper cables.

Just stranded by the road,

And carryin' a heavy load;

Just waitin' for a man

To lend a helpin' hand.
