Lyrics: Thomas Baker Knight
Music: Thomas Baker Knight
Two different versions are included on the Jerry Garcia box set All Good Things, both outtakes from the "Compliments Of..." sessions.
It doesn't seem that Garcia ever played it live.
There's a place where lovers go
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
Where the broken hearts stay
Goin' down to Lonesome Town
To cry my troubles away
In the town of broken dreams
The streets are paved with regret
Maybe down in Lonesome Town
I can learn to forget
Maybe down in Lonesome Town
I can learn to forget
