I've got no fire inside of me can't be the man I try to be Oh Mr Lonesome hangin' round Don't wanna see nobody don't wanna be nobody Oh Mr Lonesome got me down He makes me leave the party when folks start laughin' hearty Happiness is one thing he can't stand Nobody wants or needs me I go just where he leads me Oh Mr Lonesome got my hand Today the sun was setting I thought there was forgetting
There Mr Lonesome to find He led me to the moonlight he knew I longed to hold you tight Oh Mr Lonesome rules the land And so my whole life over each day is like the other But still if my wonderin' could be If that old chain that binds me breaks when true love finds me And Mr Lonesome sets me free And Mr Lonesome sets me free
