    Lonesome Place

    I got to leave this town.

    It’s a lonesome place.

    Got to leave this town cause

    It’s a lonesome place.

    A po’, po’ boy can’t

    Find a friendly face.

    Goin’ down to de river

    Flowin’ deep an’ slow.

    Goin’ down to de river

    Deep an’ slow-

    Cause there ain’t no worries

    Where de waters go.

    I’m weary, weary,

    Weary, as I can be.

    Weary, weary,

    Weary as can be.

    This life’s so weary,

    ‘S’ bout to overcome me.

    Langston Hughes
