Lonesome Road Blues

Lonesome Road Blues
I walked on down that lonesome line
Hung my head and I cried
I wept and I cried under a willow tree
Out by the deep blue sea
My mama, my dear papa can be found,
And my brother on a county road
Now I been down that long plank walk,
I? m on my way back home
You cause me to weep, you do cause me to moan
You cause me to leave my home
I cried last night and the night before
I swear I won? t cry anymore
Your fast mail train comin round that track
Killed my brown eyed boy
They took him down that smokey track
Brought him back on a cooling board
Now I? m lookin down that lonesome line
Just as far as I care to see
I have no money lost my brown eyed boy
These blues won? t set me free
You do cause me to weep, you do cause me to moan
You cause me to leave my home
I cried last night and the night before
I swear I won? t cry anymore
