I hear the wind blow, it's callin' to me
singin' true love's lonesome song
'cuz old smyrna road's where my dreams long to be
lord knows that's where I belong

all of my tears just keep fallin' like rain'
'cuz that woman is all that I see
and old smyrna road will just keep callin' my name 
'til there's nothin' that's left of poor me

yes, my girl's got a heart full of gold
lord, and she's all that I know
but my sweet little baby's been taken away
lord, down that old smyrna road

my heart is pinin'
my poor heart keeps on pinin'

I lost my girl
on old smyrna road
mean old smyrna road
ooh-hoo-oo
whoo!

oh, have mercy

I've been alone, baby, way too long
lookin' for what I have lost
my love will find you, and I will return
some day when I get across

my heart is pinin'
my heart keeps pinin'
my poor heart keeps on pinin'

I lost my girl
ooh, lost my world
lord, down that mean old smyrna road

whoo!

mean old smyrna road

ooh-ooh-hoo
