Written and recorded by hank wiliams sr. [c] listen to ---the rain a-fallin' Can't you hear ---that lonesome sound [c7] Oh, my [f] poor ---old heart is [c] breakin' 'cause my sweet ---love [g7] ain't a-[c] round. Lord, i think ---i'll start to ramble Got to leave ---this weary town This old place ---is way too lonely 'cause my sweet ---love ain't around. On that train ---tonight i'm leavin' And don't ask me ---where i'm bound I can't stay ---here any longer 'cause my sweet ---love ain't around. (two additional verses not on record) Mem-o-ries ---come back to haunt me My dream house ---has done fell down This old world ---is dark around me 'cause my sweet ---love ain't around. Something tells ---me that i'm losing 'cause these weary ---blues i've found Oh, my bab- ---y left this morning Lord, my sweet ---love ain't around.
