Today has been a lonesome day
Today has been a lonesome day
Today has been a lonesome day
And tomorrow gonna be the same old way
It s a winding road, ain t got no end
It s a winding road, ain t got no end
It s a winding road, ain t got no end
It s a bad and never changing wind
Did you ever hear a coffin sound?
Did you ever hear a coffin sound?
Did you ever hear a coffin sound?
You know by that, the poor boy s underground
But there s one kind favor I ll ask of you
there s one kind favor I ll ask of you
there s one kind favor I ll ask of you
See that my grave is kept clean
Did you ever hear a church bell tone?
Did you ever hear a church bell tone?
Did you ever hear a church bell tone?
You know by that, the poor boy s dead and gone
You may dig my grave with a silver spoon
You may dig my grave with a silver spoon
You may dig my grave with a silver spoon
And lower me down with a golden chain
Today has been a lonesome day
Today has been a lonesome day
Today has been a lonesome day
And tomorrow gonna be the same old way
