Lonesome, lonesome,
Yes I'm sinkin', sinkin', sinkin' down below my grave
Done had a good time, but Lord how I done paid
Cause the rising sun ain't gonna shine no mo'
No the rising sun ain't gonna shine no mo'
Well it's dark and dreary, no matter where I go
Well the lights in my room even refuse to shine
Oh the lights in my room even refuse to shine
If my baby don't come back, I know I'll be doin' time
Because ooooh, I can't stand no more
Mmm-mmm, I can't stand no more
Well he quit me for my best friend, and don't come to see me no more
Tell all my good friends, cause I know I can't last long
Tell all my good friends, I know I can't last long
Please don't you wait, for I'll be dead and gone
Mmmmmmmm, -
Ooo-oooh, -
Mmmmmmmm, -
Mmmmmmmm,
Please don't you wait, cause I know I'll be dead and gone
