It ain't no use to sit and sigh now, darlin And it ain't no use to sit and cry now T'ain't no use to sit and wonder why, darlin Just wonder who's gonna buy you ribbons when I'm gone So times on the railroad gettin' hard, babe I woke up last night and saw it snow Remember what you said to me last summer When you saw me walkin' down that road So I'm walkin' down that long, lonesome road You're the one that made me travel on But still I can't help wonderin' on my way Who's gonna buy you ribbons when I'm gone?
