It's a lonesome feeling when you're traveling
Down a lonesome road down a lonesome road
Nobody cares a thing about me it's a heavy load it's a heavy load
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
It's a lonesome feeling...
[ Mandolin - banjo ]
I wish that I was in Kentucky with papa and mama dear
But mama's gone and so is papa and Kentucky's a long way from here
It's a lonesome feeling...
It's a heavy load it's a heavy load
