Lyrics:
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.
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.

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 have to pack my things and go.

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.

Solo (16 Bars)

Now baby, listen baby, don't ya 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 ain't got no money you just ain't no good.

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.
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. X 5 (to end)

Tracks for Pianist will work for a pianist plus a melody instrument.
Tracks for Chordal Instruments (found in guitar and piano sections) will work for a guitarist plus a
