| I’ve got the lonesome homesick blues
|
| I’ve got them bad babe, down in my shoes
|
| I left someone there that I might lose
|
| That’s why I’ve got these old homesick blues
|
| It makes me homesick to hear your name
|
| And hold you dear, in my arms again
|
| I’m a gonna ride that old lonesome train
|
| To the one I left back in Maces Spring
|
| You told me once dear, you loved me so
|
| And it’s on my mind dear, every where I go
|
| I’ll soon be knowing if it is so
|
| Or has your love for me grown cold
|
| Oh, listen to that old lonesome train
|
| It’s a gonna carry me back again
|
| To the one that told me their love was true
|
| I’ll spend the rest of my days with you
|
| I’ve been away babe a long, long time
|
| Now I’m riding down this old railroad line
|
| And the one I love there, I hope to find
|
| To ease this lonesome blue heart of mine |
