Album: Unknown
Artist: Hank Williams
 

Written and recorded by hank wiliams sr.

[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.
