Long Gone Lonesome Blues - Hank Williams & The Drifting Cowboys

I was riding number nine, heading south from Caroline I heard that long lonesome whistle blow I got in trouble, had to roam, I left his gal and I left his home I heard that long lonesome whistle blow Just a kid, acting smart, I went and broke his darling's heart I guess I was too young to know They took me off the Georgia Main, Locked me to a ball and chain I heard that long lonesome whistle blow All alone I bears the shame, I'm a number, not a name I heard that long lonesome whistle blow All I do is sit and cry, when that evening train goes by I heard that long lonesome whistle blow I'll be locked here in this cell, 'til my body's just a shell And my hair turns whiter than snow I'll never see that gal of mine, I'm in Georgia doing time I heard that long lonesome whistle blow

I used to hurry a lot I used to worry a lot I used to stay out 'til the break of day Oh, that didn't get it It was high time I quit it I just couldn't carry on that way Oh, I did some damage I know it's true Didn't know I was so lonely 'til I found you You can go the distance We'll find out in the long run (In the long run) We can handle some resistance If our love is a strong one (Is a strong one) People talkin' about us They got nothin' else to do When it all comes down We will still come through In the long run Ooh, I want to tell you It's a long run You know, I don't understand Why you don't treat yourself better Do the crazy things that you do 'Cause all the débutants in Houston, baby Couldn't hold a candle to you Did you do it for love? Did you do it for money? Did you do it for spite? Did you think you had to, honey? Who is gonna make it? We'll find out in the long run (In the long run) I know we can take it If our love is a strong one (Is a strong one) We were scared but we ain't shakin' Kinda bent, but we ain't breakin' In the long run Ooh, I want to tell you It's a long run Ay-ay In the long run Ooh, uh, ay In the long run Gonna find out Ooh fi-fi-fi-nd out Long, long, long, long Long, long, long Ooh, run, run, run, baby Run, run, baby Long, long, long, long Ooh, run, baby

Ten years ago on a cold dark night Someone was killed 'neath the town hall lights There were few at the scene, but they all agreed That the slayer who ran, looked a lot like me She walks these hills, in a long black veil She visits my grave, when the night winds wail Nobody knows, nobody sees Nobody knows, but me The scaffold is high, and eternity's near She stood in the crowd, and shed not a tear But sometimes at night, when the cold wind moans In a long black veil, she cries over my bones She walks these hills, in a long black veil She visits my grave, when the night winds wail Nobody knows, nobody sees Nobody knows, but me The judge said son, what is your alibi If you were somewhere else, then you won't have to die I spoke not a word, though it meant my life I'd been in the arms of my best friends wife Now she walks these hills, in a long black veil She visits my grave, when the night winds wail Nobody knows, nobody sees Nobody knows, but me Nobody knows, nobody sees Nobody knows, but me

Did you ever hear the story about Long John Dean? A bold bank robber from Bowlin' Green They put him in the jail house the other day And late last night he made his getaway He's long gone from old Kentucky Long gone, got away lucky. He's Long gone, that's what I mean Long gone from Bowlin' Green Well They offered a reward to bring him back They even put the bloodhounds on his track But the doggone bloodhounds lost his scent And nobody knows where Long John went He's long gone from old Kentucky Long gone, got away lucky. He's Long gone, that's what I mean Long gone from Bowlin' Green Well I never will forget till the day I die I played a game of Love with a woman held high Well its heads she wins and tails I Lose Well she played the ace and I had the duce But I's long gone from old Kentucky Long gone, got away lucky. I's Long gone, that's what I mean Long gone from Bowlin' Green I's long gone from old Kentucky Long gone, go-on and get lucky I's Long gone, that's what I mean Long gone from Bowlin' Green

Are you lonesome tonight Do you miss me tonight Are you sorry we drifted apart Does your memory stray To a bright summer day When I kissed you And called you sweetheart Do the chairs in your parlour Seem empty and bare Do you gaze at your doorstep And picture me there Is your heart filled with pain Shall I come back again Tell me dear Are you lonesome tonight Do the chairs in your parlour Seem empty and bare Do you gaze at your doorstep And picture me there Is your heart filled with pain Shall I come back again Tell me, dear Are you lonesome tonight
