Today has been a lonesome day

 Today has been a lonesome day

 Today has been a lonesome day

 And tomorrow gonna be the same old way

 It s a winding road, ain t got no end

 It s a winding road, ain t got no end

 It s a winding road, ain t got no end

 It s a bad and never changing wind

 Did you ever hear a coffin sound?

 Did you ever hear a coffin sound?

 Did you ever hear a coffin sound?

 You know by that, the poor boy s underground

 But there s one kind favor I ll ask of you

 there s one kind favor I ll ask of you

 there s one kind favor I ll ask of you

 See that my grave is kept clean

Did you ever hear a church bell tone?

Did you ever hear a church bell tone?

Did you ever hear a church bell tone?

You know by that, the poor boy s dead and gone

You may dig my grave with a silver spoon

You may dig my grave with a silver spoon

You may dig my grave with a silver spoon

And lower me down with a golden chain

Today has been a lonesome day

 Today has been a lonesome day

 Today has been a lonesome day

 And tomorrow gonna be the same old way
