There's a fallacy misconceived
It was my mistake to havin' said it
And the blunder grows ship to shore
And nobody likes me anymore
Especially Linda, especially Linda
No matter how I'm tryin'
She only hisses goodbye
And now I am a-long walking down to misery
Long walking down to misery
I just had to prove me a man
In the presence of that dandy
And I listen on till he quit
Then I deceived him just a bit
Concerning Linda, concerning Linda
And no matter what I say
She always turns away
And now I am a-long walking down to misery
Long walking down to misery
If I'd known he talks aloud
I'd never said a word
He was lying just like me
Long walking down to misery
Long walking down to misery
People point at me and they frown
Then they whisper some to each other
And I'd run away, but I know
I got nowhere else to go
No one to walk with
No one to talk with
Ah, no matter what I say
Everybody always turns away
And leaves me a-long walking down to misery
Long walking down to misery
