Lonesome On`ry And Mean Lyrics

Lonesome On`ry And Mean lyrics

Verse 1:

 On a greyhound bus, Lord I'm traveling this morning

 I'm going to Shreveport and on down to New Orleans

 Been driving these highways, been doing things my way

 It's been making me lonesome, on'ry and mean

 

 Verse 2:

 Now her hair was jet black, and her name was Codiene

 Thought she was the cream of the Basin Street queens

 She got tired of that smokey whine dream

 Began to feel lonesome, on'ry and mean

 

 Verse 3:

 We got together, and we cashed in our sweeps

 Gave them to a beggar who was mumbling through the streets  	

 There's no escaping from his snowy white dreams

 Born lookin' lonesome, on'ry and mean

 

 Verse 4:

 Now I'm down in this valley, where the wheels turn so low

 At dawn I pray, to the Lord of my soul

 I say do Lord, do right by me

 I'm tired of being lonesome, on'ry and mean
