Weary Blues

Weary blues from waitin’
Lord, I’ve been waitin’ so long
These blues have got me cryin’
Oh, sweet daddy, please come home.

The snow falls ’round my window
But it can’t chill my heart
Lord knows it died the day you left
My dream world fell apart.

Through tears I watch young lovers
As they go strollin’ by
Oh, all the things that might have been
God forgive me if I cry.
