Well I made my way from Nasheville, the loving of the Georgia pines
Worked my way to Alabam, didn't even make a dime
Well I wish I was right there with you, my brand new shirt and shoes
Talking about our next move, thinking about these blues
Well if I had a thousand dollars, I'd fly home to you take you
To the Suwannee river, take you on a trip for two
But I'm a sad, lonesome rambler
My money's almost spent
Thinking about my baby's forgot to pay the rent
Can't you see that little bird flying from pine to pine
He's mourning for his true love, just like I mourn for mine
Too many motel rooms, from bar to bar I go
Ain't paying a cent here, having a drink before the show
i'm feeling weary, weary to the bone
Everyone looks so cheery, but me I'm all alone
But I'm a sad, lonesome rambler
My money's almost spent
Thinking about my baby's forgot to pay the rent
Walk out on the busy street, no one knows my name
Feel so defeated, everyone acts the same
Well if I had wings I'd fly away home
Just to see my Darling, my Mother, and home
