There's a brown paper bag wrapped around this bottle
A brown paper letter ripped up on the floor
The woman that I love, she wrote me this morning
Just to tell me that she felt me the same way, no more
To weep and to cry, to weep and to cry
The woman that I love, Lord, she wrote me goodbye
I'm homesick and lonesome, Lord, I'm lonesome at the core
Tears fell on the page like a torrential downpour
ย
So I picked up the pieces to the letter you wrote me
The brown paper fragments, I threw 'em all away
And I took to the bottle, my last loyal companion
And the only one I knew who wouldn't lead me astray
To weep and to cry, to weep and to cry
The woman that I love, Lord, she wrote me goodbye
I'm homesick and lonesome, Lord, I'm lonesome at the core
Tears fell on the page like a torrential downpour
