about

This is a Live version from our MohaviSoul show 9/27/2019 at the 42nd Annual Huck Finn Jubilee Festival that includes a Band-Member Introduction too. This cover of the great Waylon Jennings song written by San Diegan Steve Young is a tribute to the heartache and escape from love gone wrong and all its painful baggage..

lyrics

Lonesome, On’ry and Mean By Steve Young/performed originally by Waylon Jennings (Key of D) (MohaviSoul Music – BMI)
(RCA Victor Records, 1973, Produced by Dave Cobb, Album: Lonesome, Orn’ry and Mean)
Verse 1
On a Greyhound bus Lord I'm travelin' this morning
I'm goin' to Shreveport and down to New Orleans
Been travlin' these highways and doin' things my way
It's been making me lonesome on'ry and mean

Verse 2
Her hair was jet black and her name was Bodine
Thought she was the queen of the Basin Street Queens
She got tired of that smoky-wine dream
She began to feel lonesome on'ry and mean

Verse 3
We got together and we cashed in our sweeps
Gave them to a beggar who was mumblin' through the streets
There's no escaping from his snowy white dream
Making Me lonesome on'ry and mean

Verse 4
I'm down in this valley where the wheels turn so low
At dawn I pray to the Lord of my soul
I say do Lord do right by me
I'm tired of being lonesome on'ry and mean...
