Alonzo "Lonnie" Johnson (February 8, 1899 – June 16, 1970) was an American blues and jazz singer/guitarist and songwriter who pioneered the role of jazz guitar and is recognized as the first to play single-string guitar solos. Johnson was not only one of the few black blues musicians invited to be 'guest featured' on a number of jazz recording sessions, he was also one of the only classic 1920's blues artists to have a revived a high-charting career after WWII. more »

Look down, look down, that lonesome road, before you travel on.
Look up, look up, and seek your Maker, before Gabriel blows his horn.

I'm weary toting such a load, traveling down a lonely road.

True love, true love, what have I done to make you hurt me so?
You have made me weak, you have made me moan, like I've never did before.

I'm weary toting such a load, it's tragic down a lonely road.

Don't hang down, don't hang down, your weary head and cry.
The best of friends must cry, why not you and I?

Look down, look down, that lonesome road, before you travel on.
Look up, look up, and seek your Maker, before Gabriel blows his horn.

I'm weary toting such a load, traveling down that lonely road.

True love, true love, what have I done to make you hurt me so?
