Lonesome Road

[Verse 1]

Look up and down that lonesome road

Hang down your head and cry, my Lord

Hang down your head and cry

[Verse 2]

They say all good friends must part sometime

Why not you and I, my Lord

Why not you and I?

[Verse 3]

I wish to the Lord that I'd never been born

Or died when I was a baby, my Lord

Or died when I was a baby

[Verse 4]

I would've not been here eatin' this cold cornbread

And supping this salty gravy, my Lord

A supping this salty gravy

[Verse 5]

I wish to the Lord that I'd never seen your face

Heard your lying tongue, my Lord

Heard your lying tongue

[Verse 6]

So look up and down that lonesome road

Where all of your friends have gone, my Lord

And you and I must go

[Verse 7]

You better look up and down that lonesome road

Hang down your head and cry, my Lord

Hang down your head and cry
