Lonesome road blues

I walked on down that lonesome line
Hung my head and I cried
I wept and I cried under a willow tree
Out by the deep blue sea
My mama, my dear papa can be found,
And my brother on a county road
Now I been down that long plank walk,
I'm on my way back home

You cause me to weep, you do cause me to moan
You cause me to leave my home
I cried last night and the night before
I swear I won't cry anymore

Your fast mail train comin round that track
Killed my brown eyed boy
They took him down that smokey track
Brought him back on a cooling board
Now I'm lookin down that lonesome line
Just as far as I care to see
I have no money lost my brown eyed boy
These blues won't set me free

You do cause me to weep, you do cause me to moan
You cause me to leave my home
I cried last night and the night before
I swear I won't cry anymore
