[Verse]
C G D                             C              D      
■ ■ ■ On a Greyhound bus Lord I'm travelin' this morning
             G                          D      
I'm goin' to Shreveport and down to New Orleans


[Chorus]
                     G                         D     
Been trav'lin' these highways and doin' things my way
                    C        G       D       
It's been making me lonesome ■ on'ry and mean


[Verse]
                           D7 D       C        D     
God her hair was jet black ■  and her name was Bodine
                    G                         D     
Thought she was the queen of the Basin Street Queens


[Chorus]
        G             D              
She got tired of that smokywine dream
                  C        G     D       
She began to feel lonesome on'ry and mean

[Verse]
D                      C             D     
We got together and we cashed in our sweeps
D7        G                                   D      
Gave onto beggar who was mumblin' through the streets
           G                             D7     D
There's no escaping from his snowy white dreams ■


[Chorus]
          C        G           D   
On'ry and lonesome ■ on'ry and mean
D7                            C               D     
I'm down in this valley where the wheels turn so low
          G                      D   
At dawn I pray to the Lord of my soul
         G                D      D7     
I say do Lord do right by me you ■  know
    D              C        G     D       
I'm tired of being lonesome on'ry and mean
