Lonesome On'ry And Mean

On a Greyhound bus I'm ridin' this morning
I'm goin' to Shreveport on down to New Orleans
I've been ramblin' these highways I've been travlin' these byways
It's been makin' me lonesome on'ry and mean

Her hair was jet black and her name was Bosine
She thought she was the queen of the Basin Street Dream
Oh but everybody gives style of the smoky wild dream
She began feelin' lonesome on'ry and mean

Yeah so we got together and the cash in our sweeps
We give it to some beggar he was mumblin' through the streets
He sat there escaping from his snowy white dream
He began lookin' lonesome on'ry and mean

So I'm down in this valley where the wheels turn so low
At dawn I pray to the Lord of my soul
I say hey Lord won't you help me jump the green
You know I'm tired of bein' lonesome on'ry and mean
