Lonesome Road Blues
Writer: (Traditional)
Album: Eutaw
All the verse are the same chord progression
(G) (D) (Em) (C)
I walk down that lonesome line
(G) (D) (G)
Hung down my head I cry
(D) (Em) (C)
I wept I cried under the willow tree
(G) (D) (G)
About the deep blue sea
My mama my dead papa
Can be found
And my brother
On the county road
Now I've been down that long plank walk
I'm on my way back home
You cause me to weep you did cause me to mourn
You cause me to leave my home
Your fast mail train coming round the track
Come kill my little blue-eyed girl
They took her down that smoky track
Brought her back on that cooling board
I'm looking down that long tunnel light
Just as far as I care to see
I have no money lost my blue-eyed girl
These blues won't set me free
You did cause me to weep you did cause me to mourn
You cause me to leave my home
I cried last night and the night before
I swore not to cry anymore
