But I sure do feel lonesome
 Baby's takin' a trip
 But she ain't takin' me

 I've been feelin' kinda free
 But I'd rather feel your arms around me
 'Cause you're takin' away
 Ev'rything that I wanted

 There's an old hollow tree
 Where we carved our initials
 And I said I love you
 And you said you love me

 It's a mem'ry today
 It'll be a mem'ry tomorrow
 I hope you'll be happy someday
 (And) Your mem'ry won't die in my grave

 (repeat last two verses
