Have you ever been walking walking down that old lonesome road?
Have you ever been walking walking down that old lonesome road?
No place to go, well Brown, no place to room and board

Things look so lonesome down that road ahead
Things look so dark down that road ahead
Been thinkin' of the way you livin', boys, and what your mother said

Things look so lonesome when you ain't got a shelter over your head
Things look so lonesome when you ain't got a shelter over your head
When you could have been at home, boy, sleepin' in a feather bed

So road is lonesome when you gotta travel it all alone
So road is lonesome when you gotta travel it all alone
When all you have, hey boy, she's dead and gone
