Lyrics:
As I walked down by the riverside
One evening in the spring
Heard a long gone song
From days gone by
Blown in on the great North wind
Though
As I walked down by the riverside
One evening in the spring
Heard a long gone song
From days gone by
Blown in on the great North wind
Though
And hear the lonesome whistle, see the smoke from the stack
And pal around with democratic fellows named Mac
So, take me right back to the track, Jack!
valve oil and steam
A short forty years went flyin' on by
Now I'm so lonesome, I could die
If I find heaven, the way I've been told
I'll go
as I can stand
Mama told me "Son,"
as she took a hold of my hand
"Water runs so deep,
Deep as all my pain,"
Down by the river, honey
Lord, can I
no more
'Cause it's soon one morning
Down the road I'm going
But I ain't going down
That long old lonesome road
All by myself
But I ain't going down
lonesome don't treat me this way
Oh I've been trying but you've been denying
So miss lonesome won't you leave me alone
I thought I needed you to move on
But
with my cherry cherry wine
I believe I'll go walking by the railroad with my cherry cherry wine
If I pass the rumbling station where the lonesome
states are dandy, so the people always say
From New York to St Louis and Chicago by the way
From the hills of Minnesota, where the rippling waters fall
No
I've been hurt by love so many times,
so I know just what you're goin' through.
You wish that you were never born, you gotta forget him now that he's
When you're feeling kind of lonesome in your mind
With a heartache followin' you so close behind
Call out to me as I ramble by.
I'll sing a song for
I’m a lonesome cowboy
Riding through the night
Such a lonesome cowboy
But it feels so right
I’m a lonesome cowboy
Riding through the night
Such
And hear the lonesome whistle, see the smoke from the stack
And pal around with democratic fellows named Mac
So, take me right back to the track, Jack!
Oh dear I'm so tired and so lonesome
I wonder why mommy don't come
She told me to shut up my blue eyes
And before I woke up she'd be home
lonesome me
I'll bet she's not like me she's out and fancy free
She's flirtin' with the boys with all her charms
But I still love her so and brother don't
Well' our eastern states are dandy, so the people always say
From New York to St. Louis and Chicago by the way
From the hills of Minnesota where
of that trash
So I packed up my suitcase and I move on down, hit that lonesome
road
You know I packed up
Took her oh so far away
And ol' Kaw-Liga stayed
Kaw-Liga, ooh
Standin' there, as lonesome as can be
Ah, just wishin' he were still an ol' pine tree
It ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
It don't matter, anyhow
An' it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
If you don't know by now
When
fightin' for,
No one's listenin' when you need 'em,
Ain't no fun to sing that song no more.
Got a song about a sister,
Waitin' somewhere by the phone,
I've been hurt by love so many times,
so I know just what you're goin' through.
You wish that you were never born, you gotta forget him now that he's
sorrow
When they laid her in the grave
Went back home
Lord my home was lonesome
All my brothers sisters crying
What a home so sad and lone
Can
Hear that lonesome whip-poor-will?
He sounds too blue to fly
The midnight train is whining low
I'm so lonesome I could cry
I've never seen
Honey, why didn't you let me know by mail
You've been gone so long
She said come in stranger
I know you're weary from all your miles
Just sit
