—Bill Monroe
Chorus:
Now the road is rocky, but it won't be rocky long ( x2 )
Another man has got my woman and gone
I've got those blues, I'm wearing out the soles of my shoes ( x2 )
My gal went away and left me she left me with the dog gone blues
You'll never miss your water til the well runs dry ( x2 )
You'll never miss your woman until she says goodbye
I wish to the Lord you'd bring my woman back home ( x2 )
I'm not so lonesome, just don't want to be alone
| I | I | I | I |
| IV | IV | I | I |
| V | V | V | I |
