Lonesome Day Blues lyrics

Well, today has been a sad and lonesome day
Yeah, today has been a sad and lonesome day
I m just sitting here thinking with my mind a million miles away

Well, they re doing the double shuffle, throwing sand on the floor
They re doing the double shuffle, they re throwing sand on the floor
When I left my longtime darling, she was standing in the door

Well, my pa he died and left me, my brother got killed in the war
Well, my pa he died and left me, my brother got killed in the war
My sister she ran off and got married, never was heard of anymore

Samantha Brown lived in my house for bout four or five months
Samantha Brown lived in my house for bout four or five months
Don t know how it looked to other people, I never slept with her even once

Well the road washed out, weather not fit for man or beast
Well the road washed out, weather not fit for man or beast
Funny, the things you have the hardest time parting with, are the things you need the least

Well, I m forty miles from the mill, I m dropping it into overdrive
I m forty miles from the mill, I m dropping it into overdrive
Set my dial on the radio, I wish my mother was still alive

I seen your lover-man coming, coming across the barren fields
I see your lover-man coming, coming across the barren fields
He not a gentleman at all, he s rotten to the core, he s a coward and he s
steel

Well my captain he s decorated, he s well-schooled and he s skilled
My captain he s decorated, he s well-schooled and he s skilled
He s not sentimental, don t bother him at all; how many of his pals have been killed.

Last night the wind was whispering, I was trying to make out what it was
Last night the wind was whispering something, I was trying to make out what it was

Yeh I tell myself something s coming, but it never does

I m going to spare the defeated, I m going to speak to the crowd
I m going to spare the defeated, cause I m going to speak to the crowd
I m going to teach peace to the conquered, I m going to tame the proud

Well, the leaves are rustling in the wood, things are falling off of the shelf
Leaves are rustling in the wood, things are falling off the shelf
You re gonna need my help sweetheart, you can t make love all by yourself.
