Nobody Wants Me

The trees were a swayin'

To the songs that she was singin'

Sittin' on the back porch of her country home

Then the moon would start to glowin'

The soft breeze start to blowin'

And she would sing the blues, but nobody would ever hear

And she'd sing,

Nobody wants me

They left me all alone

My mama's out drinkin' and my daddy is dead and gone

Nobody wants me

They left me all alone

So I'm a singin' the blues, but thank you Lord

For giving me another day

When the sun come up, this girl would rise

You know her day was long and hard

She didn't have much money since papa up and died

Workin' in the store on down the road

Shoulda heard the stories she done told

About the life that she'd been livin'

In that little old country home

She'd sing,

Nobody wants me

They left me all alone

My mama's out drinkin' and my daddy is dead and gone

Nobody wants me

They left me all alone

So I'm a singin' the blues, but thank you Lord

For giving me another day

Her voice touched me sweetly

As I rambled through the meadow

Floated down so soft and lingered in my ears

I followed the voice till I saw her there

Singin' lonesome words into the air

Such a beautiful lady, I listened to her as she sang

And she'd sing,

Nobody wants me

They left me all alone

My mama's out drinkin' and my daddy is dead and gone

Nobody wants me

They left me all alone

So I'm a singin' the blues, but thank you Lord

For giving me another day

I said I'm singin' the blues, but thank you Lord

For giving me another day
