Old Lonesome Blues

If you give me a dollar
I could spend it for two
But it you give me a holler
I would save it for you
If you give me your love babe
I would come home to you

But don’t give me none of them old lonesome blues

I’ve been to the city
Them days weren’t so bright
I’ve been to the desert
Under moonlight
I’ve been to the country
But I never felt right

Cause I can’t get away from them old lonesome nights

I tried all my life babe
I’ve put up a fight
I cried all my life babe
And I’m losing my bite
I don’t know what’s wrong babe
And I don’t know what’s right

Cause I can’t get away from them old lonesome nights
