Lonesome And Blue

Key of G

Open in Bluegrass Book: transpose, play along

Verse

Lonesome blue heartbroken
As here I sit alone
My sweetheart’s gone and left me
Now everything’s gone wrong

Verse

Her hair was dark and curly
And hung way down behind
But now she loves another
I’m run-ning on the vine

Verse

I ne-ver rode a boxcar
Until she turned me down
I’ll never love no other
I’ll never settle down

Verse

On down this lonesome railroad
My back to the old hometown
My past will always haunt me
And the girl who turned me down
