E
I come from the deep country
A
underneath the setting sun
E
Been rolling down the long highway
B
thats where this begun
E
Instead of wondering where you are
A
I just stand behind this guitar
B            B
I'm as lonesome as a shadow


E
I'm as lonseomse as a leaf
A
Steady falling down off the trees
E
Just as tired as the train
B
That carried my baby away again

E
I come from the Gulf
A
where even houston is way up north
E           B
I'm as lonesome as a shadow

E
I went down to Texas
A
Where them paper, paper crow fly
E
I went down to Texas
B7
With Louisiana always on my mind
E
I was up in Arkansas
A
I Can't tell you just what I saw
E           B
I'm as lonesome as a shadow


E
I'm as lonseomse as a leaf
A
Steady falling down off the trees
E
Just as tired as the train
B
That carried my baby away again
E
Oh goodbye, woe is me
A
I'm bound for Georgie out of Tennesse
E         B
I'm as lonesome
A          B
Just as lonesome
A          B
I'm as lonesome
B        E
As a shadow
