Well, I feel like an old hobo - I'm sad, lonesome and blue

I was fair as a summer's day now the summer days are through
    B2           E          B2          F#
You pass through places and places pass through you
        B2         E               B2             F#
But you carry them with you on the soles of your travelling shoes

Well, I love you so dearly I love you so clearly
           B2        E       B2       F#
I wake you up in the morning so early just to tell you

I got the wandering blues, I got the wandering blues
        B2       E           B2           F#
And I'm going to quit these rambling ways one of these days soon

And I sing

         B2       E        B2                        F#
And wild like the rambling footsteps of a wandering child
        B2            E        B2      F#
And I'm lonesome as a lonesome whippoorwill
        B2          E       B2          F#
Singing these blues with a warble and a trill
        B2      E                     B2      F#
But I'm not too blue to fly - no, I'm not too blue to fly

Well, I left my baby on a pretty blue train
      B2      E            B2           F#
And I sang my songs to the cold and the rain
      B2                E            B2                    F#
