Hitch to My Gitalong - Tom Paxton

I got a little hitch in my gitalong

My gitalong just won’t get the way it used to

Gotta take a switch to my gitalong

Just to get along home to you

When I look back I see a little bitty boy

And run so fast and jump so high

But that was then when I was young

And I thought that I could fly

Now I got a little hitch in my gitalong

My gitalong just won’t get the way it used to

Gotta take a switch to my gitalong

Just to get along home to you

I never have thought that my bones would creak

My back would ache as the years slipped by

The days grew short and nights grew long

But I still thought I could fly

But I got a little hitch in my gitalong

My gitalong just won’t get the way it used to

Better take a switch to my gitalong

Just to get along home to you

Comin' home tonight I was an hour late

Couldn’t really say when you asked me why

Like this gravity held me to the earth

And it would not let me fly

So I got a little hitch in my gitalong

My gitalong just won’t get the way it used to

Better take a switch to my gitalong

Just to get along home to you

Just to get along home to you
