[1] I've got the lonesome ol' homesick blues
I've got 'em [4] bad babe down in my [1] shoes
I left some-[4]-one there that I might [1] lose
That's why I've got these [5] old homesick [1] blues

It makes me homesick to hear your name
To hold you near in my arms again
I'm gonna ride that old lonesome train
To the one I left back in Maces Spring

I've been away for a long, long time
Now I'm riding down this ol' railroad line
To the one I left and I hope I'll find
To ease this lonesome blue heart of mine

You told me once dear you loved me so
And it's on my mind now every where I go
I'll soon be knowing if this is so
Or has your love for me grown cold
