Weary Lonesome Blues
Farewell to Love: Glen Campbell's Weary Lonesome Blues Tale
Lyrics
I got them weary weary lonesome blues
I am experiencing deep fatigue and sadness, known as lonesome blues.
Feeling so lonesome bout' to cry
Feeling extremely lonely, on the verge of tears.
I turned my back on my true love
I have turned away from my true love.
Can't tell the day from night
Unable to distinguish between day and night due to emotional turmoil.
I'm going down and catch that midnight train
Deciding to catch a midnight train, expressing a desire to leave.
And I ain't never comin' back
Firm decision to leave and never return.
I got them weary weary lonesome blues
Reiteration of the weary and lonesome feelings.
And I'm gonna ride em' all away from here
Determined to ride away from the current situation.
I got them weary weary lonesome blues
Continued expression of deep weariness and loneliness.
Cause I found out that love don't pay
Realization that love hasn't been rewarding.
The only one that I did love
The person I loved has chosen a different path.
Has gone another way
Reflection on a past love that has become untrue.
And I kissed my last I used to
Recalling the last time I kissed someone I used to love.
Cause you're love has proved to be untrue
Realization that the love received was not genuine.
I got them weary weary lonesome blues
Reiteration of the weariness and lonesomeness.
And I don't know what to do
Expressing confusion about what to do in this situation.
I got them weary weary lonesome blues
Repeating the feeling of weariness and loneliness.
And I'm gonna pack my grip and go
Deciding to leave and pack belongings.
I hate to turn my back on you
Expressing reluctance to turn away from a loved one.
For you know I love you so
Acknowledging love for the person despite the decision to leave.
But you will never love me Dear
Believing that the love will not be reciprocated.
So I'm a gonna drift away from here
Deciding to drift away due to the perceived lack of reciprocated love.
I got them weary weary lonesome blues
Reiteration of weariness and lonesomeness.
And I'm gonna get away from here
Determined to escape from the current situation.
