[Verse] 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
