Long Lonesome Road lyrics

[Chorus]
Look up and down that long lonesome road
Hang down your head and cry, my Lord
Hang down your head and cry

[Verse 1]
I wish to the Lord I'd never been born
Died when I was a baby, my Lord
Died when I was a baby
I wouldn't be eatin' this cold cornbread
Soppin' this salty gravy, my Lord
Soppin' this salty gravy

[Verse 2]
I wish I had some fine young man
To tell all my troubles to, my Lord
Tell all my troubles to
'Cause this young feller that I'm goin' with
Tells everything I do, my Lord
Tells everything I do

[Chorus]
Look up and down that long, lonesome road
Hang down your head and cry, my Lord
Hang down your head and cry
[Outro]
Look up and down that long, lonesome road
Where all our friends have gone, my Lord
And you and I must go
