Gaye, Marvin - Hitch Hike Lyrics
I'm goin' to Chicago; that's the last place my baby strayed
(Hitch hike) Hitch hike (Hitch hike baby)
I'm packin' up my bags, gonna leave this old town right away
(Hitch hike) Hitch hike (Hitch hike baby)
I've got to find that girl if I have to hitch hike 'round the world
Chicago City Limits, that's what the sign on the highway read
(Hitch hike) Hitch hike (Hitch hike baby)
I'm gonna keep movin till I get to that street corner 6th and 3rd
(6th and 3rd, hitch hike baby) Hitch hike, yeah
I've got to find that girl if I have to hitch hike 'round the world
(Hitch hike) Hitch hike, baby
Hitch hike (Hitch hike) Now hitch-a hike (Hitch hike baby)
It's all right (Hitch hike) Hitch hike Jenny (Hitch hike Susan)
Yeah, hitch hike (Hitch hike) Hitch hike Jenny
(Hitch hike baby, hitch hike Susan)
(Hitch hike baby, hitch hike Susan)
(Hitch hike baby, hitch hike baby)
I'm goin' to St. Louis, but my next stop just might be L.A.
(Hitch hike) Now what'd I say? (L.A.)
Got no money in my pocket so I'm gonna have to hitch hike all the way
(All the way) Yeah (Hitch hike baby)
I've got to find that girl if I have to hitch hike 'round the world
(Hitch hike) Now what'd I say
Come on, hitch hike (Hitch hike baby)
Come hitch hike Jenny (Hitch hike Susan)
[...and fade]

Gaye, Marvin Hitch Hike Comments
🐇👍
This must have been Marvin Gaye's first hit. I love the background singers and the back and forth between them and Marvin. Great song.
Indeed it was.
Paul McCartney cited this as one of his favorite Motown records.
Released on December 19, 1962...Got to #30 on the Hot 100...and #12 on the R&B charts in early 1963...CLASSIC!!!
Mighty damn fabulous, get up everyone and show yourself!!!!!!!
Lou Reed nicked the beginning of this song for his song "There She Goes Again." It's exact.
Mel Bee that made me underrate the V U till about 1974. You are so right. It's also the first " more cowbell", song ,at least in my humble opinion. Unusual flute solo..
@Richard Bogart Burke other than Blue Oyster Cult and the Chambers Brothers, name some other "More Cowbell Songs" I want to put together a playlist after reading your comment.
@A Tree 3 by the early Beatles : Please Mr. Postman, I Call Your Name, & You Can't Do That. Ringo played it on two of them, while Paul played it on the latter.
Kent Lewis I realize you're posting at someone else but I looked up those songs because of your post & wow you are so right. That is far before I assumed the cowbell was used.
I once played a party for a pretty musically hip crowd and one of the guys came up afterward and was like "I knew you were a good dj when you went from Hitchhike to There She Goes Again". I was just happy someone noticed. Music nerds unite.
