Lonesome Road Blues 🎤Lyrics:
Lonesome Road Blues
Have you ever been walking down that lonesome road?
Have you ever been walking’, walking down that lonesome road?
All you got in this world, Lord, I declare she’s dead and gone
Things look so black, you got to travel alone
Things look so black, you got to travel alone
All you got in this world, Lord I declare she’s gone
It ain’t too good, ain’t got a shelter over your head
It don’t look so good, when you ain’t got a shelter over your head
When you could’ve been sleeping on a feather bed, yeah, walkin’
Have you ever been walking, walking down that lonesome road?
Have you ever been walking, walking down that lonesome road?
When all you got in this world, Lord I declare she’s gone
