You went away and left me cryin'
Lord, baby, how I need you here
Can't stand it now and I ain't lyin'
Ain't had no lovin' in a year

Pack up my clothes and that ain't all, babe
Hand me down my high top walkin' shoes
I'm leavin' if I have to crawl, babe
I've got the lonesome hearted blues

You went away without a word, babe
You didn't even say goodbye
Where you went I haven't heard, babe
But now I am comin' home to cry

Pack up my clothes and that ain't all, babe
Hand me down my high top walkin' shoes
I'm leavin' if I have to crawl, babe
I've got the lonesome hearted blues

Nashville is fine but Houston's finer
Birmingham [Incomprehensible] just can't use
I'm bound to catch me a Dixie liner
I've got the lonesome hearted blues

Pack up my clothes and that ain't all, babe
Hand me down my high top walkin' shoes
I'm leavin' if I have to crawl, babe
I've got the lonesome hearted blues

Pack up my clothes and that ain't all, babe
Hand me down my high top walkin' shoes
I'm leavin' if I have to crawl, babe
I've got the lonesome hearted blues
I've got the lonesome hearted blues
