Hit The Road Jack is a song by Percy Mayfield, first performed in 1960. Best known for being performed by Ray Charles in 1961.
The female vocals belong to Marge Hendrix, Charles’ partner and mother of his child.
The song is based on the dialogue of a woman who reproaches her man for not having a penny for his soul and demands that he collect his things and leave her house, and the response of a man who accuses the woman of being grumpy and promises to make up for lost time.
Percy Mayfield composed the song in 1960. He recorded a demo (no music, only voice) and sent it to producer Art Roop. Percy himself barely performed due to facial injuries sustained in a 1952 car accident. He allowed Ray Charles to perform the song.
For two weeks, from October 9, 1961, Charles’ single topped the Billboard Hot 100.

Hit The Road Jack (с англ. — «Проваливай, Джек») — песня Перси Мэйфилда, впервые исполненная в 1960 году. Наиболее известна в исполнении Рэя Чарльза в 1961 году. Женский вокал принадлежит Маржи Хендрикс — сожительнице Чарльза и матери его ребёнка.
Песня построена на диалоге женщины, которая упрекает своего мужчину в том, что у него за душой ни гроша, и требует, чтобы он собрал свои вещи и покинул её дом, и ответом мужчины, который обвиняет женщину в сварливости и обещает наверстать упущенное.
Перси Мэйфилд сочинил песню в 1960 году. Он записал демоверсию (без музыки, только голос) и отправил её продюсеру Арту Рупу. Сам Перси почти не выступал из-за травм лица, полученных в автомобильной аварии в 1952 году. Он разрешил исполнять песню Рэю Чарльзу.
В течение двух недель, с 9 октября 1961 года, сингл Чарльза лидировал в Billboard Hot 100.

Song 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
What’d you say?
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 have seen
I guess if you say so
I’ll have to pack my things and go (that’s right)
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
What’d you say?
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
Now baby, listen baby, don’t you treat me this 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
Well, I guess if you say so
I’ll have to pack my things and go (that’s right)
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
What’d you say?
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
Well (don’t you come back no more)
Uh, what you say? (don’t you come back no more)
I didn’t understand you (don’t you come back no more)
You can’t mean that (don’t you come back no more)
Oh now baby please (don’t you come back no more)
What you tryin’ to do to me? (don’t you come back no more)
Oh, don’t treat me like that, baby (don’t you come back no more)
