I'm so lonesome, lonesome, I don't know what to do
I'm so lonesome, lonesome, Lord, I don't know what to do
If you didn't have no good woman, you'd be lonesome, too
Lord, I'm goin' up the country, babe, and I can't carry you
I said, I'm goin' up the country, babe, and I can't carry you
'Cause I got one up there, and I can't see how you always do
I wished I had-a listened to what my baby sister said
Lord, I wished I had-a listened to what my baby sister said
She said, "See how I am, brother, please don't stray away"
Lord, my mama told me when I first left her door
I said, my mama told me when I first left her door
Sayin', "Be careful in your travelin'
Son, you got to reap just what you sow"
