Lonesome Old Home

(With backup banjo licks numerated)

Last night I lay down everything was so fine 1

Had Mama and Dad so much on my mind 2

Thinking of home and the ones I love so 3

Everything was so great around the old home 4

Chorus:

Then I woke up I was a dreamin’ 5

No mother no dad no children a playing 6

Everything was so quiet everybody was gone 7

There was nothing left but a lonesome old home 8

Then I got up the sun was so bright 9

I looked all around but something’s not right

I walked out the door and there on a hill 10

Stood two lonesome graves lord it gave me a chill 11

2nd Chorus:

Then I woke up I was a dreamin’

No mother no dad no children a playing 12

Everything was so quiet everybody was gone 5

There was nothing left but a lonesome old home 13

As I stood there everything was so still

As I started to leave those lonesome old hills

Leavin’ behind where I used to roam

Mama and Dad and a lonesome old home
