I'm gonna lay down my old guitar Gonna lay down my old guitar Oh I wish I could tie it to my side And take it along with me There's no one to cry for me There's no one to cry for me I've wandered so far away don't you see And there's no one to cry for me I'm sick in a lonesome bed I'm sick in a lonesome bed There's no one to hold my aching head And I'm sick in a lonesome bed I'm telling this world goodbye I'm telling this world goodbye I'm telling the world and my dear little girl I'll soon tell them all goodbye
