Look up look down that lonesome road
Hang down your head and cry my love
Hang down your head and cry

The best of friends must part some day
Then why not you and I my love
Why not you and I

The longest train I ever saw
Went down that Georgia line my love
Went down that Georgia line

And the only girl I ever loved
Was on that train and gone my love
Was on that train and gone

The darkest night I ever saw
Was the day I left my home my love
Was the day I left my home

I never thought when we first met
That awful day would come my love
That awful day would come
