Tears keep rolling down your cheek you your voice gets talk so you can't speak

Every day seems like a week and that's what it's like to be lonesome

You get too blue to stay at home but in a crowd you're still alone

You lose the will to carry on and that's what it's like to be lonesome

Everyone has a hope that's died everyone cries a tear inside

Everyone has a cross to bear but I've got no one in my share

Your mind is built with memories your heart cries out for sympathy

An empty blue eternity and that's what it's like to be lonesome

[ fiddle - steel ]

Everyone has a hope that's died...
