Lonesome Old Home

 
D                    A 
Last night I laid down everything was so fine 
                       D 
Had mother and dad so much on my mind 
                       A 
Thinking of home and the ones I love so 
                         D 
Everything was so great around the old home 
 

 
                A 
Then I woke up I was a-dreaming 
              D 
No mother no dad no children a-playing 
                     A 
Everything was so quiet everybody was gone 
                         D 
There was nothing left but a lonesome old home 
 

 
D                    A 
Then I got up the sun was so bright 
                        D 
I looked all around but somethings not right 
                        A 
I walked out the door and there on a hill 
                         D 
Stood two lonesome graves Lord it gave me a chill 
 

 
                A 
Then I woke up I was a-dreaming 
              D 
No mother no dad no children a-playing 
                     A 
Everything was so quiet everybody was gone 
                         D 
There was nothing left but a lonesome old home 
 

 
D                    A 
As I stood there everything was so still 
                      D 
As I started to leave those lonesome old hills 
                     A 
Leaving behind where I used to roam 
                      D 
Momma and dad and a lonesome old home 
 

 
                A 
Then I woke up I was a-dreaming 
              D 
No mother no dad no children a-playing 
                     A 
Everything was so quiet everybody was gone 
                         D 
There was nothing left but a lonesome old home
