i'm sitting here in my lonely room looking out the window at a lonely moon ah don't it cast a lonely light all down upon this lonely night i'm a lonely boy, i'm a lonely boy, lord in heaven help me i'm a lonely boy
once had a little girl said she loved me took her to georgia and tennessee then down to mississippi & wouldn't you know she left me flat in tupelo i'm a lonely boy, i'm a lonely boy, lord in heaven help me i'm a lonely boy
i got no father - got no mother got no sister - and i got no brother not a single friends - to help me through not even a dog - i tell you true i'm a lonely boy, i'm a lonely boy, lord in heaven help me i'm a lonely boy
thinking 'bout friends that i once had don't do nothing but make me sad and the woman who left me that's even worse this lonely life is just a curse i'm a lonely boy, i'm a lonely boy, lord in heaven help me i'm a lonely boy
