Now once I had a pretty little girl She was sweet as she could be Now I've lost all hope and love, turned her back on me As I have me someone I could call my own I would take them up come home and marry them alone 'Cause I ain't got nobody and nobody cares for me That's why I'm sad and lonely I want someone to take a chance with me I will sing sweet love songs to you baby all the time If you would come and be the girl of mine 'Cause I ain't got nobody and nobody cares for me
