Oh look up and down that long lonesome road
                         G
Hang down your head and cry, my Lord.

Oh I wish to the Lord that I'd never been born

Or died when I was a baby, my Lord.

I would not be here eating this cold corn bread

Or sopping this salty gravy, my Lord.

Or sopping this salty gravy.

[Verse 4]
         D
You have caused me to weep, you've caused me to mourn
         D                  G
You have caused me to leave my home, my Lord.
D            A7       D
Caused me to leave my home,

[Verse 5]
     D
Oh I wish to the Lord, that I have never seen your face
   D                G
Or heard your lying tongue, my Lord.
   D          A7    D
Or heard your lying tongue.

I wish that I had some nice young man

To tell all my secrets to, my Lord.

Because this young fellow that I'm going with

Tells everything I do, my Lord.

Tells everything I  do.
