|
[C] Listen to ---the rain a-fallin' |
|
Can't you hear ---that lonesome sound [C7] |
|
Oh, my [F] poor ---old heart is [C] breakin' |
|
'Cause my sweet ---love [G7] ain't a-[C] round. |
|
Lord, I think ---I'll start to ramble |
|
Got to leave ---this weary town |
|
This old place ---is way too lonely |
|
'Cause my sweet ---love ain't around. |
|
On that train ---tonight I'm leavin' |
|
And don't ask me ---where I'm bound |
|
I can't stay ---here any longer |
|
'Cause my sweet ---love ain't around. |
|
(Two additional verses not on record) |
|
Mem-o-ries ---come back to haunt me |
|
My dream house ---has done fell down |
|
This old world ---is dark around me |
|
'Cause my sweet ---love ain't around. |
|
Something tells ---me that I'm losing |
|
'Cause these weary ---blues I've found |
|
Oh, my bab- ---y left this morning |
|
Lord, my sweet ---love ain't around. |
