Gonna lay down my old guitar
Gonna lay down my old guitar
Oh I wish I could tie to my side
And take it along with me

There's no one to cry for me
There's no one to cry for me
I wandered away so far, don't you see?
And there's no one to cry for me

I am sick in a lonesome bed
I am sick in a lonesome bed
There's no one to hold my aching head
And I'm sick in a lonesome bed

Gonna lay down my old guitar
Gonna lay down my old guitar
Oh I wish I could tie it to my side
And take it along with me

I am telling the world goodbye
I am telling the world goodbye
I am telling thе world and my dear little girl
I am telling thеm all goodbye

Gonna lay down my old guitar
Gonna lay down my old guitar
Oh I wish I could tie it to my side
And take it along with me
Yo-de-lay-ee ooh
