I've got the lonesome homesick blues
I've got them bad babe, down in my shoes
I left someone there that I might lose

That's why I've got these old homesick blues

It makes me homesick to hear your name

And hold you dear, in my arms again
I'm a gonna ride that old lonesome train
To the one I left back in Maces Spring


You told me once dear, you loved me so
I'll soon be knowing if it is so

Or has your love for me grown cold

Oh, listen to that old lonesome train

It's a gonna carry me back again
To the one that told me their love was true
I'll spend the rest of my days with you


I've been away babe a long, long time
Now I'm riding down this old railroad line

And the one I love there, I hope to find
To ease this lonesome blue heart of mine
