I'm traveling down this lonesome road oh how I hate to go

   The wind and storms are raging high and it's awful cold

   My mind drifts back to you sweetheart and I love you so

   Now you've gone and left me here to travel this lonesome road



I remember dear not long ago you said you'd be my own

I never thought you'd go away and leave me all alone

The kind of love you had for me I find sweetheart grows cold

For now you've gone and left me here to travel this lonesome road



All I do is roam around and look for you my dear

I know I'll search ten thousand miles oh how I need you here

You broke my heart you left me here now I'm growing old

Why did you go and leave me here to travel this lonesome road
