I got them weary weary lonesome blues
Feeling so lonesome bout' to cry

I turned my back on my true love
Can't tell the day from night
I'm going down and catch that midnight train
And I ain't never comin' back

I got them weary weary lonesome blues
And I'm gonna ride em' all away from here
I got them weary weary lonesome blues
Cause I found out that love don't pay

The only one that I did love
Has gone another way
And I kissed my last I used to
Cause you're love has proved to be untrue

I got them weary weary lonesome blues
And I don't know what to do

I got them weary weary lonesome blues
And I'm gonna pack my grip and go
I hate to turn my back on you
For you know I love you so
But you will never love me Dear
So I'm a gonna drift away from here
I got them weary weary lonesome blues
And I'm gonna get away from here
