MY SWEET LOVE AIN'T AROUND 
                   1948
    Written and recorded by Hank Wiliams Sr.


C
Listen to ---the rain a-fallin'
          F                      C7
Can't you hear ---that lonesome sound 
       F                    C
Oh, my poor ---old heart is breakin'
                        G7       C
'Cause my sweet ---love ain't a- round.



Lord, I think ---I'll start to ramble
        F                   C7
Got to leave ---this weary town
          F                   C
This old place ---is way too lonely
                         G7    C
'Cause my sweet ---love ain't around.




On that train ---tonight I'm leavin'
And don't ask me ---where I'm bound
I can't stay ---here any longer
'Cause my sweet ---love ain't around.


(Two additional verses not on record)

Mem-o-ries ---come back to haunt me
My dream house ---has done fell down
This old world ---is dark around me
'Cause my sweet ---love ain't around.


Something tells ---me that I'm losing
'Cause these weary ---blues I've found
Oh, my bab- ---y left this morning
Lord, my sweet ---love ain't around.
