LONESOME HOMESICK BLUES
Music and lyrics by Maybelle Carter
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 Springs
You told me once dear you loved me so
And it’s on my mind everywhere I go
I’ll soon be knowing if it is so
Or has your love for me grown cold
I’ve been away babe a long long time
Now I’m riding down this old railroad line
And the one I loved there I hope to find
To ease this lonesome blue heart of mine
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
