Lonesome blue heartbroken
As here I sit alone
My sweetheart's gone and left me
Now everything's gone wrong

Her hair was dark and curly
And hung way down behind
But now she loves another
I'm run-ning on the vine

I ne-ver rode a boxcar
Until she turned me down
I'll never love no other
I'll never settle down

On down this lonesome railroad
My back to the old hometown
My past will always haunt me
And the girl who turned me down
