[Verse 1]
I got them weary, weary, lonesome blues
Feeling lonesome, 'bout to cry
I've turned my back on my true love
Can't tell the day from night
I'm goin' down to 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

[Verse 2]
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 can't smile as I used to
'Cause her love has proved to be untrue
I got them weary, weary, lonesome blues
And I don't know what to do

[Verse 3]
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
