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   And it's on my mind dear, every where I go   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
