It’s a lonesome feeling when you’re traveling
Down a lonesome road, down a lonesome road
Nobody cares a thing about you
It’s a heavy load, it’s a heavy load
Verse 1
I fell in love in Cincinnati
Her love was true and she told me so
I gave her rings and all my money
Where she ran off to I’ll never know
Verse 2
I wish that I was in Kentucky
With mama and papa dear
But, mama’s gone now, and so is papa
And Kentucky’s a long way from here
