Down the road, can't somebody, I wonder who can that somebody be
Well, I know it's not a loose end, then it must be Jimmie Lee
Jimmie Lee, God, I love you, but you just won't treat me right
You leave home in the morning, don't come back till late at night
Well, now, mother, dear old mother
Can't you tell me what to say
Jimmie Lee gone and left me
So I'm going on my knees to pray
Jimmie Lee, please go on
Don't you leave me
And to cry
This is my lonely hour
Every time he says goodbye
