My Sweet Love Aint Around Lyrics:
Written and recorded by hank wiliams sr.
c Listen to ---the rain a-fallin
Cant you hear ---that lonesome sound c7
Oh, my f poor ---old heart is c breakin
cause my sweet ---love g7 aint a-c round.
Lord, I think ---I'll start to ramble
Got to leave ---this weary town
This old place ---is way too lonely
cause my sweet ---love aint around.
On that train ---tonight Im leavin
And dont ask me ---where Im bound
I cant stay ---here any longer
cause my sweet ---love aint around.
(two additional verses not on record)
Mem-o-ries ---come back to haunt me
My dream house ---has done fell down
This old world ---is dark around me
cause my sweet ---love aint around.
Something tells ---me that Im losing
cause these weary ---blues Ive found
Oh, my bab- ---y left this morning
Lord, my sweet ---love aint around.
