OH I'M SO LONESOME
WALKING DOWN THIS LONELY ROAD AT NIGHT
OH I'M SO LONESOME
TALKIN TO MYSELF TO EASE MY MIND
OH LORD, THIS ROAD IS HARDLY BEAUTIFUL OR KIND

OH I MISS MY LOVED ONES
KNOW THEY WERE TAKEN FROM ME
OH I MISS MY LOVED ONES
AND NOTHIN'S GONNA BRING EM' BACK TO ME
OH LORD, THIS ROAD IS HARDLY BEAUTIFUL OR KIND

THIS WORLD IS CAUSING TROUBLE
PEOPLE JUDGING COLORS OF SKIN
PEOPLE TAKIN' CHILDREN FROM THEIR KIN
NO MATTER WHERE YOU'RE FROM OR WHERE YA BEEN
OH LORD, THIS WORLD IS HARDLY BEAUTIFUL OR KIND

THIS WORLD'S CAUSING TROUBLE
PEOPLE HARDLY STANDING ON THEIR FEET
PEOPLE SHOOTING PEOPLE IN THEIR SLEEP
BEGGIN FOR A SOUP BONE TO EAT
OH LORD, THIS WORLD IS HARDLY BEAUTIFUL OR KIND

OH I'VE BEEN A DREAMIN
OF WALKING DOWN THIS ROAD ALONE AT NIGHT
OH I'VE BEEN A DREAMIN
IT'S GONNA LEAD TO LOVE AND PEACEFUL TIMES
OH LORD, IT'S GONNA LEAD TO LOVE AND PEACEFUL TIMES

OH I'M SO LONESOME
WALKIN' DOWN THIS ROAD ALONE AT NIGHT
OH I'M SO LONESOME
I ONLY HAVE THIS DREAM TO EASE MY MIND
OH LORD, THIS WORLD IS HARDLY BEAUTIFUL OR KIND
OH LORD, I WISH THE WORLD WAS BEAUTIFUL AND KIND
