Lonesome On'ry And Mean
On a Greyhound bus, Lord, I'm travelin' this morning
I'm goin' to Shreveport and down to New Orleans
Been travelin' these highways and doin' things my way
It's been making me lonesome, on'ry and mean
Now her hair was jet black and her name was Codeine
She thought she was the cream of the Basin Street Queens
She got tired of that smoky-wine dream
She began to feel lonesome, on'ry and mean
We got together and we cashed in our sweeps
We gave 'em to a beggar who was mumblin' through the streets
There's no escaping from his snowy white dreams
Born lookin' lonesome, on'ry and mean
Now I'm down in this valley where the wheels turn so low
At dawn, I pray to the Lord of my soul
I say, "Dear Lord, do right by me
You know I'm tired of being lonesome, on'ry and mean
I'm goin' to Shreveport and down to New Orleans
Been travelin' these highways and doin' things my way
It's been making me lonesome, on'ry and mean
Now her hair was jet black and her name was Codeine
She thought she was the cream of the Basin Street Queens
She got tired of that smoky-wine dream
She began to feel lonesome, on'ry and mean
We got together and we cashed in our sweeps
We gave 'em to a beggar who was mumblin' through the streets
There's no escaping from his snowy white dreams
Born lookin' lonesome, on'ry and mean
Now I'm down in this valley where the wheels turn so low
At dawn, I pray to the Lord of my soul
I say, "Dear Lord, do right by me
You know I'm tired of being lonesome, on'ry and mean
