Jennings, Waylon - Lonesome, On'ry And Mean Lyrics






On a Greyhound bus Lord I'm travelin' this morning
I'm goin' to Shreveport and down to New Orleans
Been travlin' these highways and doin' things my way
It's been making me lonesome on'ry and mean.

God her hair was jet black and her name was Bodine
Thought she was the queen of the Basin Street Queens
She got tired of that smoky-wine dream
She began to feel lonesome on'ry and mean.

We got together and we cashed in our sweeps
Gave onto beggar who was mumblin' through the streets
There's no escaping from his snowy white dream
On'ry and lonesome on'ry and mean.

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 you know
I'm tired of being lonesome on'ry and mean...

    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
    Now her hair was jet black,
    And her name was Codene
    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
    We got together, and we cashed in our sweeps.
    Gave 'em 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
    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
    You know I'm tired of being lonesome on'ry and mean
