Look up, look down that lonesome road
Hang down your little head and cry my love,
Hang down your little head and cry
The best of friends must part some time
And why not you and I my love,
And why not you and I
The longest train I ever saw
Went down that Georgia line my love,
Went down that Georgia line
The only girl I've ever loved
Is on that train and gone my love,
Is on that train and gone
Solo
The darkest night I ever saw
Was the day that I left my home my love,
Was the day that I left my home
And I never thought when we first met
This awful day would come my love,
Such an awful day would come.
Look up, look down that lonesome road
Hang down your little head and cry my love,
Hang down your little head and cry
The best of friends must part some day
And why not you and I my love,
And why not you and I
