Lonesome Road Blues

I walk down that lonesome line

Hung down my head I cry

I wept I cried under the willow tree

About the deep blue sea

My mama my dead papa

Can be found

And my brother

On the county road

Now I've been down that long plank walk

I'm on my way back home

You cause me to weep you did cause me to mourn

You cause me to leave my home

Your fast mail train coming round the track

Come kill my little blue-eyed girl

They took her down that smoky track

Brought her back on that cooling board

I'm looking down that long tunnel light

Just as far as I care to see

I have no money lost my blue-eyed girl

These blues won't set me free

You did cause me to weep you did cause me to mourn

You cause me to leave my home

I cried last night and the night before

I swore not to cry anymore
