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
