I got a letter this morning Made me sad and blue Said my woman's in trouble You know I'm in trouble too That's why I'm so Lonesome Lord and I stay blue all the time Ah but that's all right I will overcome some day I couldn't do nothing 'Cause I was sad and blue I know there's some' wrong with my baby And it hurts me too That's why I'm so Lonesome And I stay blue all the time Yeah but that's all right I will overcome some day Nights are so Lonesome Days are so blue Just sittin' here rubbin' my hands baby Wonderin' what happened to you That's why I'm so Lonesome Lord and I stay blue all the time Yeah but that's all right I will overcome some day
