Lonesome Road Blues |
| I’m walking down that lonesome lane |
| Hung down my head and cried |
| I weeped and I cried under a willow tree |
| Then I faced the deep blue sea |
| My mama’s dead, papa can’t be found |
| And my brother’s on the county road |
| Says, I done-been to that long plank walk |
| And I’m on my way back home |
| You did cause me to weep, you did cause me to moan |
| You did cause me to leave my home |
| I cried last night and the night before |
| And I swore not to cry no more |
| You did cause me to weep, you did cause me to moan |
| You did cause me to leave my home |
| I got no money and they call me no honey |
| I have to weep and moan |
| In eighteen-hundred in that ninety-nine |
| He got killed on that streetcar line |
| They took him down that smoky road |
| Brought him back on that coolin' board |
| Says, I been down to that water’s edge |
| That’s far as I care to go |
| Then run here, mama, 'n' fall in your daddy’s breast |
| These blues gonna let me rest |
| Your fast mail train comin' round the curve |
| It done killed my little brownie dead |
| Her head was found in that driver wheel |
| And her body, it have never been seen |
