Like a bird that's lost its mate in flight. I'm alone and, oh, so blue tonight. Like a piece of driftwood on the sea. May you never be alone like me. .
I have heard your stories about your fast trains. But now I'll tell you 'bout one all the southern folks have seen. She's the beauty of the southland, listen to that whistle scream.
Standin' by, a lonesome graveyard, everything I love is gone,. Weeping as, they lay my darlin',. 'Neath a cold gray tomb of stone.... . In this world, I'm left to wander, with no one to call my own..
All you want to do is sit around and pout. And now I got enough and so I'm getting out. . I'm leaving now. I'm leaving now. I'm a long gone daddy I don't need you anyhow.
Everybody says, oh, you let me down. That I should be ashamed to take you 'round. What makes no difference, what you used to do. Darling, I could never be ashamed of you.
Well I've heard your stories about your fast trains. But now I'll tell you bout one all the travelin' folks have seen. She's the beauty of the Southland listen to that whistle scream.
Picture talking with your friends without a conversation. Picture walking with yourself without a complication. . I know, I know, you're running from me, I know, I know.
Now I like candy and I like cake and I like jam but goodness sake. There's nothing as sweet as my baby. She got golden hair and big blue eyes she could win a beauty prize.
We were waiting at the church we watched and saw the weddin' start. As the organ played we stood there and prayed just me and my broken heart. So can't you see that you have done to me oh foolish foolish pride.
Six more miles to the graveyard. Six more miles, long and sad. Six more miles to see my darling. She's best friend I ever had. . And the rain is softly falling.
[ Both ]. For years we both have lived on pride dear. [ Merle ]. And we agreed that love is gone. [ Bonnie ]. Why oh why do we keep trying. [ Both ]. A house without love is not a home.
People steal they cheat and lie. For wealth and what it will buy. But don't they know on judgment day. That gold and silver will melt away. . I'd rather be in a dark grave.
