[Verse 1]
E                       D           E
On a Greyhound bus I'm ridin' this morning
              A                            E
I'm goin' to Shreveport and down to New Orleans
                     A                                         E
I've been around on these highways, I've been traveling these by-ways
                     D        A         E
It's been making me lonesome on'ry and mean

[Verse 2]
E                               D       A  E
Her hair was jet black and her name was Bodine
                         A                         E
She thought she was the queen of the Basin Street cream
                         A                     E
Yeah but everybody gets tired of a smoky-wine dream
                   D        A         E
She began feeling lonesome on'ry and mean

[Verse 3]
E                               D             E
Yeah so we got together and we cashed in our sweeps
                     A                                   E
We give 'em to some beggar, he was mumblin' through the streaks
                A                             E
He stood there escaping from his snowy white dream
                  D         A        E
He began lookin' lonesome on'ry and mean

[Verse 4]
E                                           D     A       E
So I'm down in this valley here where the wheels turn so low
           A                      E
At dawn I pray to the Lord of my soul
          A                            E
I say hey Lord won't you help me jump clean
                             D        A         E
You know I'm tired of being lonesome on'ry and mean
