It's lonesome feeling when you're traveling
Down a lonesome road, down a lonesome road
Nobody cares a thing about you
It's a heavy road, it's heavy road

I wish that I was in Kentucky
With poppa and mama dear
but mama's gone now and is poppa
And Kentucky that's long way from here

* Refrain

I found the love since I've married
Her love was true as she told me so
I gave a ring with all my money
But she run off to where I never know

* Refrain
