Don't the world seem lonesome battlin' by yourself
Don't the world seem lonesome battlin' by yourself
Yes to think someone you love has turned her back for someone else
When my mother and dad left me I was too small to help myself
When my mother an' dad left me I was too small to help myself
And my sisters and brothers they drove me away to somebody else
So many nights and days I tramped through the rain and snow
So many nights and days I tramped through the rain and snow
I wanted to go back home but I know I'm not wanted there no more
It what a lonesome life when everything go wrong
What a lonesome life when you tryin' to carry on
When you motherless and fatherless and every friend you had begin to treat you wrong
Rocks was my pillow and the cold ground was by bed
Rocks was my pillow and the cold ground was by bed
And the blue skies was my blanket and the moonlight was my spread
