I got to leave this town. <br />It’s a lonesome place. <br />Got to leave this town cause <br />It’s a lonesome place. <br />A po’, po’ boy can’t <br />Find a friendly face. <br /> <br />Goin’ down to de river <br />Flowin’ deep an’ slow. <br />Goin’ down to de river <br />Deep an’ slow- <br />Cause there ain’t no worries <br />Where de waters go. <br /> <br />I’m weary, weary, <br />Weary, as I can be. <br />Weary, weary, <br />Weary as can be. <br />This life’s so weary, <br />‘S’ bout to overcome me.<br /><br />Langston Hughes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/lonesome-place/
