(Clive Erard / Frank Trafford)
Sidney Lipton and his Grosvenor House Orchestra
Oh, the lonesome trail ain't lonesome any more
It's a different place to what it was before
And that land of peace and quiet
Has been turned into a riot
Oh, the lonesome trail ain't lonesome any more
It's the cowboy's farewell to the prairie
Hang my mustang on the hook behind the door
Hand me down my walking cane, cousin Mary
For the lonesome trail ain't lonesome any more
Oh, the lonesome trail ain't lonesome any more
There's a dance hall where the stable was before
Instead of broncos bucking
All the boys are learning trucking
For the lonesome trail ain't lonesome any more
Yodel:
Hand me down my walking cane, cousin Mary
For the lonesome trail ain't lonesome any more
Oh, the lonesome trail ain't lonesome any more
Oh, the lonesome trail ain't lonesome any more
