CAPO 2 
 
A 
You went away and left me crying. 
                           E 
Lord! Baby, how I need you here. 
A                               D 
Can't stand it now, and I ain't lyin'. 
A            E           A 
Ain't had no lovin' in a year. 
 
 
Pack up my clothes and that ain't all babe. 
                                 E 
Hand me down my high top walkin' shoes. 
A                        D 
I'm leavin' if I have to crawl babe; 
A            E                A 
I've got the lonesome hearted blues.

You went away without a word, babe; 
                        E 
You didn't even say goodbye. 
A                           D 
Wherever you went I haven't heard, babe, 
A           E              A 
but now I'm coming home to cry. 
 
 
Pack up my clothes and that ain't all babe.

Hand me down my high top walkin' shoes. 
A                        D 
I'm leavin' if I have to crawl babe; 
A            E                A 
I've got the lonesome hearted blues.

Nashville is fine but Houston's finer.

Birmingham, now Lord, I just can't use. 
A                         D 
I'm bound to catch a dixieliner. 
A            E                A 
I've got the lonesome hearted blues.
