[c] listen to ---the rain a-fallin'

Can't you hear ---that lonesome sound [c7]

Oh, my [f] poor ---old heart is [c] breakin'

'cause my sweet ---love [g7] ain't a-[c] round.



Lord, i think ---i'll start to ramble

Got to leave ---this weary town

This old place ---is way too lonely

'cause my sweet ---love ain't around.



On that train ---tonight i'm leavin'

And don't ask me ---where i'm bound

I can't stay ---here any longer

'cause my sweet ---love ain't around.



(two additional verses not on record)

Mem-o-ries ---come back to haunt me

My dream house ---has done fell down

This old world ---is dark around me

'cause my sweet ---love ain't around.



Something tells ---me that i'm losing

'cause these weary ---blues i've found

Oh, my bab- ---y left this morning

Lord, my sweet ---love ain't around.
