Lonesome On'ry And Mean
Recorded by Waylon Jennings
Written by Steve Young

C                           F              C
On a Greyhound bus Lord I'm traveling this morning
             F                          C
I'm going to Shreveport and down to New Orleans
                     F                          C
Been traveling these highways been doing things my way
                    A#        F         C
It's been making me lonesome  on'ry and mean

                                    F        C
Well her hair was jet black and her name was Codene
                    F                         C
Thought she was the cream of the Basin Street Queens
        F                         C
She got tired of that snowy white dream
                 A#        F         C
Tired of looking lonesome  on'ry and mean

                                      F              C
Now I'm down in this valley where the wheels turn so slow
          F                      C
At dawn I pray to the Lord of my soul
          F                C
I pray do Lord do right by me
                     A#        F         C
I'm tired of looking lonesome  on'ry and mean
