lyrics

The days are long, the days are weary
There’s nothing but stones in my way
My friends are gone, my woman left me
There’s not even a road for me to stray
Not even a road for me to stray
If I could find me some money
I would buy myself a pair of walking shoes
I would leave all this behind me
Oh I've got so little left to loose
You know I’ve got so little left to loose
I can hear the wind, the wind is roaring
I can see the rain, the rain turns to hail
I would ask the lord to take me
But I know it’s too late for me to pray
Oh I know it’s too late for me to pray
It’s getting cold, too cold in my house
I’ve burned down all my books and chairs
I’ve even burned my old guitar now
When I’m gone you won’t know I was there
Oh when I’m gone you won’t know I was there
Take me down (to Wortham, Texas) deep down south
I wanna see Blind Lemon’s grave
And don’t you show me no headstone
I wanna know exactly where he lays
I wanna know exactly where he lays
