[Verse 1]
Lonesome low dog blues
Holes in both my shoes
I wish I had a darlin'
To tell my troubles to
Worried about tomorrow
Today's like yesterday
I've got nothin' to do
And I've got nothin' to lose
But these lonesome low dog blues

[Verse 2]
I've had my share of troubles
I never laid my burdens down
Lonesome always follows me
Like a shadow on the ground
An ocean full of misery
Is just a drop to me
I've got nothin' to do
And I've got nothin' to lose
But these lonesome low dog blues

[Verse 3]
Old hound dog's chained in the backyard
And he wishes he was free
But if he's got food and water
Lord, he's better off than me
And I don't worry about money
Money don't worry about me
I've got nothin' to do
And I've got nothin' to lose
But these lonesome low dog blues
[Outro]
Lonesome low dog blues
Holes in both my shoes
I wish I had a darlin'
To tell my troubles to
Worried about tomorrow
