Well I feel like an old hobo,    I'm sad lonesome and blue   I was fair as the summer day    now the summer days are through   You pass through places   and places pass through you    But you carry 'em with you    on the souls of your travellin' shoes      Well I love you so dearly I love you so clearly   Wake you up in the mornin' so early    Just to tell you I got the wanderin' blues   I got the wanderin' blues   And i'm gonna quit these ramblin' ways    one of these days soon   And I'll sing      The littlest birds sing the prettiest songs...      Well it's times like these I feel so small and wild    Like the ramblin' footsteps of a wanderin' child   And i'm lonesome as a lonesome whippoorwill   Singin these blues with a warble and a trill   But i'm not too blue to fly   No i'm not too blue to fly cuz      The littlest birds sing the prettiest songs...      Well I love you so dearly I love you so fearlessly    Wake you up in the mornin' so early    Just to tell you I got the wanderin' blues   I got the wanderin' blues   And I don't wanna leave you    I love you through and through      Oh I left my baby on a pretty blue train   And I sang my songs to the cold and the rain   I had the wanderin' blues   And I sang those wanderin' blues   And i'm gonna quit these ramblin' ways    one of these days soon   And i'll sing      The littlest birds sing the prettiest songs....      I don't care if the sun don't shine   I don't care if nothin' is mine   I don't care if I'm nervous with you   I'll do my lovin' in the wintertime
