I got them weary weary lonesome blues, 
C                            G 
Feeling so lonesome bout' to cry. 

I turned my back on my true love, 
      A                 D 
can't tell the day from night. 
          G                   G7 
I'm going down and catch that midnight train 
    C                    G 
and I ain't never comin' back. 

I got them weary weary lonesome blues 
        D                            G 
and I'm gonna ride em' all away from here.

I got them weary weary lonesome blues,

cause I found out that love don't pay. 

The only one that I did love

has gone another way.

And I kissed my last I used to,

cause you're love has proved to be untrue.

and I don't know what to do.

for you know I love you so.
