Verse I:
There's a place where lovers go
To cry their troubles away
And they call it Lonesome Town
Where the broken hearts stay [Lonesome town]
Verse II:
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
Where the broken hearts stay
Goin' down to lonesome town
To cry my troubles away
Verse III:
In the town of broken dreams
The streets are filled with regret
Maybe down in lonesome town
I can learn to forget
Coda:
Maybe down in lonesome town
C D G C (arpeggiate)

Ricky's answer to `Heartbreak Hotel' with a healthy dash of The
