Ch.
I'm travelin' down my lonesome road Oh how I hate to go
The wind and storm are raging high and it's awful cold
My mind drifts back to you sweet heart and I love you so
Now you've gone and left me here to travel this lonesome road.

Vs. 1
I remember dear not long ago you'd said you'd be my own
I never thought you'd go away and leave me all alone
The kind of love I had for you I find sweetheart goes cold
And now you've gone and left me here to travel this lonesome road.

Ch.

Vs.2
Now all I do is ramble round and search for you my dear
I know I've searched 10000 miles and how I need you near
You broke my heart; you left me here and now i'm growing old
Why did you go and leave me here to travel this lonesome road.

Ch.
