Down Home Blues

I never felt

So lonesome before;

My friend has quit me;

He's gone for sure;

He broke my heart,

For I loved him true;

So now I'm worried,

Lonesome and blue.

I've got the blues on my mind,

And I just feel like crying all the time.

Woke up this morning, the day was dawning,

And I was feeling all sad and blue,

I had nobody to tell my troubles to;

I felt so worried,

I didn't know what to do.

But there's no use in grievin', because I'm leavin',

I'm broken-hearted and Dixie-bound;

I been mistreated, ain't got no time to lose.

My train is leaving,

And I got the down-home blues.

Woke up this morning, the day was dawning,

And I was feeling all sad and blue,

Lord, I had nobody to tell my troubles to;

I felt so worried,

I didn't know what to do.

But there's no use in grievin', because I'm leavin',

I'm broken-hearted and Dixie-bound;

Lord, I been mistreated, ain't got no time to lose.

My train is leaving,

And I got the down-home blues.
