Lonesome Polecat
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'm a lonesome polecat
Lonesome sad and blue
'Cause I ain't got no feminine polecat
Vowing to be true.
I'm a mean old houndog
Baying at the moon
'Cause I ain't got no lady friend houndog
Here to hear my tune.
Ooh ooh
Can't make no vows --
To a herd of cows.
I'm a lonesome polecat
Lonesome sad and blue
'Cause I ain't got no feminine polecat
Vowing to be true.
Ooh ooh
Can't shoot no breeze --
To a bunch of trees.
(fade)
You make me so lonely
You make me so lonely
