Sam Collins - Lonesome Road Blues lyrics

I'm walking down that lonesome lane Hung down my head and cried I weeped and I cried under a willow tree 'N' my fate's the deep blue sea My mama's dead, papa can't be found And my brother's on the county road Says I done been to that long plank walk And I'm on my way back home You did cause me to weep you did cause me to moan You did cause me to leave my home I cried last night and the night before And I swore not to cry no more You did cause me to weep you did cause me to moan You did cause me to leave my home I got me no money and they call me no honey I have to weep and moan In eighteen hundred in that ninety nine He got k**ed on that streetcar line They took him down that smoky road Brought him back on that coolin' board Says I been down to that water's edge That's far as I care to go Then run here mama 'n' fall in your daddy's breast These blues gonna let me rest Your fast mail train comin' round the curve It done k**ed my little brownie dead Her head was ground in that driver wheel And her body it have never been seen
