Well, I feel like an old hobo I'm sad lonesome and blue I was fair as a summer day Now the summer days are through
You pass through places And places pass through you To you carry 'em with you On the souls of your travellin' shoes
Well, I love you so dearly, I love you so clearly I wake you up in the mornin' so early Just to tell you I got the wanderin' blues I got the wanderin' blues
And I'm gonna quit these ramblin' ways One of these days soon and I'll, and I'll sing
The littlest birds sing the prettiest songs The littlest birds sing the prettiest songs The littlest birds sing the prettiest songs The littlest birds sing the prettiest songs
Well, it's times like these, I feel so small and wild Like the ramblin' footsteps of a wanderin' child And I'm lonesome as a lonesome whippoorwill Singin' these blues with a warble and a trill
But I'm not too blue to fly No, I'm not too blue to fly 'cause
The littlest birds sing the prettiest songs The littlest birds sing the prettiest songs The littlest birds sing the prettiest songs The littlest birds sing the prettiest songs
Well, I love you so dearly, I love you so fearlessly I wake you up in the mornin' so early Just to tell you I got the wanderin' blues I got the wanderin' blues
And I don't wanna leave you I love you through and through
Oh, I left my baby on a pretty blue train And I sang my songs to the cold and the rain And I had the wanderin' blues And I sang those wanderin' blues
And I'm gonna quit these ramblin' ways One of these days soon and I'll And I'll sing
The littlest birds sing the prettiest songs The littlest birds sing the prettiest songs The littlest birds sing the prettiest songs The littlest birds sing the prettiest songs
The littlest birds sing the prettiest songs The littlest birds sing the prettiest songs
I don't care if the sun don't shine I don't care if nothin' is mine I don't care if I'm nervous with you I'll do my lovin' in the wintertime
