My baby's gone up the country 

Lord, an she won't come down 

My baby's gone up the country 

Lord, an she won't come down 

An she keep me crying 

An walkin' from town to town 

I was sitting down looking 

On a high, high lonesome hill 

I was sitting down looking 

On a high, high lonesome hill 

An I wonder does my baby 

Does she love me still? 

Love is a hid'en mystery 

That you really can't understand 

Love is a hid'en mystery 

That you really can't understand 

And it really comes hard 

On a poor broken-hearted man 

So, I was sitting down-hearted 

People, on this lonesome song 

I was sitting down-hearted 

People, on this lonesome song 

An I wonder why my baby want to treat me wrong? 

You know I love you, baby 

That is why we couldn't get along 

You know I love you, baby 

That is why we couldn't get along 

An someday you're gonna be sorry 

That you ever done me wrong.
