The Lonesome Blues Songtext
von JB Paterson

Honey, I′ve been out walking,
Walkings where I've been.
Went on down to broadway,
To try and hear you sing.
But the wind swept me off my feet,
And the rain came rushing in,
Everybody′s knocking on your front door now,
I can't make it in.

Honey, I've been out talking,
Talkings where I′ve been,
Think I spoke to Jesus,
He told me not to believe it.
Things can grow so strange,
When there′s nothing to believe in.
When you ideas are burned for too many years,
I hardly disagree with him.


But if you show me man...
If you show me where the light shines,
Shine it down, shine it over me.
Came a little too far to be sinking,
But I know it oughta, it oughta be that way.

I ain't even half the man I was that day.

Honey, I′ve been out thinking,
Thinkings where I've been,
Been carrying a weight for too long,
My back is breaking.
I think I oughta leave this town,
Tonight or the break of dawn,
Singing that little song we learnt,
Crossing the horizon,

But if you hold me,
If you just hold me.
The lonesome blues will blow themselves away,
Came a little too far to be sinking,
But I know it oughta, it oughta be that way,
I just want to be the man for you someday
I just want to be the man for you someday
