Lonesome Road Blues - Odetta

Lonesome Road Blues Lyrics

I don't need your constant heartache
All i have is my guitar and you
I turned thirty one years old today
All you gave me was that store bought blues
And i know how that lonesome
Lonesome road blues can be
Like a devil race car baby
Lonesome road comfort me
I long for those days of simple times
Day's when guitar strings a cost a dime
I'm the only one for you there is
Help me down baby , hell that is yeah
And i know how that lonesome
Lonesome road blues can be
Like a devil race car baby
Lonesome road comfort me
Mmm mmmmm

I sold my soul for a pack of cigarettes yeah!
Mississippi is where i think my best
My string is crazy , i keep her sane
After me baby there's no one to blame
And i know how that lonesome
Lonesome road blues can be
Like a devil race car baby
Lonesome road comfort me
Like a devil race car baby
These ol' blues comfort me yeah
