[Verse]
C G C
Well I feel like an old hobo, I'm sad lonesome and blue,
F C G C
I was fair as the summer day now the summer days are through.
F C G C
You pass through places and places pass through you,
F C G C F
But you carry 'em with you on the soles of your travellin'
C G C F C G C F C G
Shoes.
[Chorus]
C F C G
Well I love you so dearly I love you so clearly
C F C G
I wake you up in the mornin' so early,
C F C G
Just to tell you I got the wanderin' blues.
C F C G
I got the wanderin' blues,
C F C G C F C G C F C
And I'm gonna quit these ramblin' ways one of these days soon,
G C
And I'll sing :

[Verse]
C F C G C
Well it's times like these I feel so small and wild
F C G C
Like the ramblin' footsteps of a wanderin' child.
F C G C
And i'm lonesome as a lonesome whippoorwill,
F C G C
Singin these blues with a warble and a trill.
F C G C
But i'm not too blue to fly,
F C G C
No i'm not too blue to fly 'cause
[Bridge]

And I don't wanna leave you I love you through and through.

Oh I left my baby on a pretty blue train,
C F C G
And I sang my songs to the cold and the rain.
C F C G
But I had the wanderin' blues,

I don't care if the sun don't shine,

F C G C
I'll do my lovin' in the wintertime.
