[Chorus:]
I'm travelin' down this lonesome road
Oh, how I hate to go
The wind and storms are raging high
And it's awful cold
My mind drifts back to you, sweetheart
And I love you so
And now you've gone and left me here
To travel this lonesome road

And I remember dear, not long ago
When you said you'd be my own
I never thought you'd go away
And leave me all alone
The kind of love you have for me
I find, sweetheart, grows cold
And now you've gone and left me here
To travel this lonesome road

[Chorus]

Now all I do is roam around
And look for you, my dear
I know I'll search ten thousand miles
Oh, how I need you here
You broke my heart, you left me here
And now I'm growing old
Why did you go, leave me here
To travel this lonesome road

[Chorus]

Why did you go and leave me here
To travel this lonesome road
