No Lonesome Tune
Townes Van Zandt, 1972· Songs Well-Known in America · p.236
Intro: D A
D
I ain't going to sing no lonesome tune. Ah, babe, I'm a coming soon
A D
I cannot believe I stayed so long away, but a man must look around
D
You're the sweetest thing I've found
A D
And your lost high roller's rolling home today
Well, my Daddy said to me, "Son, it's hard as you will see
To find someone upon whom to rely”
In the kitchen, Mama sneezed and he grinned big as you please
Said, "Bless you" and a tear come to his eye
(Instrumental)
D AD A
I did decide that very day
That I would like to live that way
And now I know I just been wasting time
It's with you that I should be
And if you feel the same 'bout me
Well I'm headed home along the straightest line
(Repeat first verse)
