[Verse 1] I come from deep country underneath the settin sun Rollin down a long highway thats where this begun Stead of wonderin where you are I just stand behind this guitar Im as lonesome as a shadow [Chorus] Im as lonesome as a leaf that is fallin down off the tree Just as tired as the train that carried my baby away again Well I come from the Gulf where even Houston is away up North Im as lonesome as a shadow [Verse 2] Now were in Texas baby where them paper, paper crow fly I went down to Texas with Louisiana always on my mind I was out in Arkansas but I cant tell you just what I saw Im as lonesome as a shadow [Chorus] Im as lonesome as a leaf that is fallin down off the tree Just as tired as the train that carried my baby away again Oh goodbye, woe is me, bound for Georgia out of Tennessee Im as lonesome, just as lonesome, just as lonesome As a shadow
