Lonesome Old Homesick Blues

1

I’ve got the lonesome ol’ homesick blues

4 1

I’ve got ’em bad babe down in my shoes

4 1

I left someone there that I might lose

5 1

That’s why I’ve got these old homesick 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
