lonesome homesick blues

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
