It's a lonesome feeling when you're traveling Down a lonesome road down a lonesome road Nobody cares a thing about me It's a heavy load, it's a heavy load I fell in love in Cincinnati Her love was true and she told me so I gave her rings and all my money Where she ran off to I'll never know It's a lonesome feeling when you're traveling Down a lonesome road down a lonesome road Nobody cares a thing about me It's a heavy load, it's a heavy load --- Instrumental --- I wish that I was in Kentucky With papa and mama dear But mama's gone and so is papa And Kentucky's a long way from here It's a lonesome feeling when you're traveling Down a lonesome road down a lonesome road Nobody cares a thing about me It's a heavy load, it's a heavy load It's a heavy load, it's a heavy load...
