Lonesome, lonesome Yes I'm sinkin', sinkin', sinkin' down below my grave Done had a good time, but Lord how I done paid Cause the rising sun ain't gonna shine no mo' No the rising sun ain't gonna shine no mo' Well it's dark and dreary, no matter where I go Well the lights in my room even refuse to shine Oh the lights in my room even refuse to shine If my baby don't come back, I know I'll be doin' time Because ooh, I can't stand no more I can't stand no more Well he quit me for my best friend, and don't come to see me no more Tell all my good friends, 'cause I know I can't last long Tell all my good friends, I know I can't last long Please don't you wait, for I'll be dead and gone Please don't you wait, 'cause I know I'll be dead and gone
