    Lonesome Road Blues

    Traditional

    G D Em C
    I walk down that lonesome line
    G D G
    Hung down my head and cried
    D Em C
    I wept I cried under the willow tree
    G D G
    Out by the deep blue sea

    My mama's dead, my papa


    Can't be found
    And my brother,
    On down the road

    G - D - Em - C - G - D - G

    Now I've been down that long plank walk


    I'm on my way back home
    You did cause me to weep you did cause me to moan
    You cause me to leave my home

    Your fast mail train coming round the track


    And killed my 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

    G - D - Em - C - G - D - G x 2

    You did caused me to weep you caused me to moan


    You cause me to leave my home
    I cried last night and the night before
    I swore not to cry anymore
