Twenty seven days I've been out on the road,
|
I'm a nervous wreck, I gotta get back home.
|
There's a young bride waiting for me all alone
|
Lord, how she misses me.
|
|
I can see her sittin' in the kitchen chair
|
In a cotton dress with her long black hair.
|
But a woman ain't pretty if a man ain't there,
|
That I can't afford to be.
|
|
It's a shame, it's a shame
|
She won't be the one to blame
|
Oh the hurtinest thing in the whole wide world
|
Is the heart of a lonely girl.
|
|
Like a red-tail fox to a blue tick hound,
|
She's the hottest thing for miles around.
|
All them other boys in our hometown,
|
Got tricks hid up their sleeves.
|
|
Now it ain't her that I don't trust,
|
She's pretty and pure as diamond dust.
|
But lonesome is this lonesome girl
|
She can't help for what she needs.
|
|
It's a shame, it's a shame
|
She won't be the one to blame
|
Oh the hurtinest thing in the whole wide world
|
Is the heart of a lonely girl.
|
|
The heart of a lonely girl,
|
The heart of a lonely girl.
|
It's the hurtinest thing in the whole wide world
|
The heart of a lonely girl.
|
|
Daddy was a rambler just like me,
|
I guess the apple don't fall too far from the tree.
|
When I ask why momma had to go that day,
|
Well he don't know and she won't say.
|
|
It's a shame, it's a shame
|
She won't be the one to blame
|
Oh the hurtinest thing in the whole wide world
|
Is the heart of a lonely girl.
|
|
Yeah, it's a shame, it's a shame
|
She won't be the one to blame
|
Yeah the hurtinest thing in the whole wide world
|
Is the heart of a lonely girl.
|
Yeah the hurtinest thing in the whole wide world
|
Is the heart of a lonely girl.
