It's a long, line that has no turning
I've heard of this many lonely years
My weary soul is still a -yearning
And still I'm pining through my tears
Oh, won't be, my little darlin'
And now she's turned her back on me
I'm goin' away some lonely mornin'
And thus far have I set her free
Now every night, I feel so lonesome
And I'm so blue all through the day
Along and far, my little darlin'
How can she treat me mean that way?
Oh, she won't be my little darlin',
And now she's turned her back on me.
I'm goin' away some lonely mornin',
And thus far Elmer set her free.
She told me that she did not love me
And said that from me she must go
She's gone away, now with another
And she will pay, someday I know
Oh, won't be my little darlin'
And now she's turned her back on me
I'm goin' away some lonely mornin'
And thus forever set her
free
There's no use now to
feel so sorry
There's nothing else that I can say
I'm going down an d catch a freight train
And ramble all my blues away
Oh, she won't be my little darlin',
and now she's turned her back on me.
I'm goin' away some lonely mornin',
and thus far Elmer set her free.
