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.
