[1] Well the road is rocky but it won't be rocky long
Well the [4] road is rocky but it won't be rocky [1] long
Said a-[5]-nother man has got my woman and [1] gone

Well I got those blues and they're wearing out the soles of my shoes
Well I got those blues they're wearing out the soles of my shoes
My gal went away and left me she left me with the dog gone blues

Well you never miss your water 'til the well runs dry
Well you never miss your water 'til the well runs dry
You'll never miss your woman until she says goodbye

Well I wish the Lord would bring my woman back home
Well I wish the Lord would bring my woman back home
I'm not so lonely just don't want to be alone
