I've got them weary weary (lonesome) blues
Feeling 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 a train (train train)
Never coming back again
I've got them weary weary (lonesome) blues
I'm gonna ride them all away

I've got them weary weary (lonesome) blues
I found out that love don't pay
The only one that I did love
She has gone the other way

I can't smile as I used to (used to)
'Cause her love has proved untrue
I've got them weary weary (lonesome) blues
And I don't know what to do

I've got them weary weary (lonesome) blues
Going to 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 (love me) dear
So I'm drifting away from here
I've got the weary weary (lonesome) blues
I'm in the way when I am here
