(Billy Henson)

It's a lonesome feeling when you're traveling
Down a lonesome road down a lonesome road
Nobody cares a thing about me
It's a heavy load, it's a heavy load.

I fell in love in Cincinnati
Her love was true and she told me so
I gave her rings and all my money
Where she ran off to I'll never know.

It's a lonesome feeling when you're traveling
Down a lonesome road down a lonesome road
Nobody cares a thing about me
It's a heavy load, it's a heavy load.

I wish that I was in Kentucky
With papa and mama dear
But mama's gone and so is papa
And Kentucky's a long way from here.

It's a lonesome feeling when you're traveling
Down a lonesome road down a lonesome road
Nobody cares a thing about me
It's a heavy load, it's a heavy load.

It's a heavy load, it's a heavy load...
