To cry their troubles away,

And they call it, Lonesome Town,

Where the broken hearts stay.

You can buy a dream or two,

To last you all through the years,

And the only price you pay,

Is a heart full of tears.

Goin' down to Lonesome Town,

To cry my troubles away.

In a town of broken dreams,

Maybe down in Lonesome Town,

I can learn to forget.

To cry my troubles away.
