I got them weary weary lonesome blues,
Feeling so lonesome bout' to cry.

I turned my back on my true love,
can't tell the day from night.
I'm going down and 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.

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 kissed my last I used to,
cause you're love has proved to be untrue.

I got them weary weary lonesome blues
and I don't know what to do.

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.
