Verse 1
On a Greyhound bus, Lord I'm travelin' this morning
I'm goin' to Shreveport and down to New Orleans
Been travelin' these highways, been doin' things my way
It's been making me lonesome, on'ry and mean
Verse 2
Now her hair was jet black and her name was Codeine
She thought she was the cream of the Basin Street Queens
She got tired of that smokey-wine dream
Began to feel lonesome, on'ry and mean

Verse 3
We got together and we cashed in our sweeps
Gave 'em to a beggar who was mumblin' through the streets
There's no escaping from his snowy white dream
Born lookin' lonesome, on'ry and mean
Verse 4
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 dear Lord, do right by me
You know I'm tired of being lonesome, on'ry and mean...
