There's a fallacy misconceived It was my mistake to havin' said it And the blunder grows ship to shore And nobody likes me anymore Especially Linda, especially Linda No matter how I'm tryin' She only hisses goodbye And now I am a-long walking down to misery Long walking down to misery I just had to prove me a man In the presence of that dandy And I listen on till he quit Then I deceived him just a bit Concerning Linda, concerning Linda And no matter what I say She always turns away And now I am a-long walking down to misery Long walking down to misery If I'd known he talks aloud I'd never said a word He was lying just like me Long walking down to misery Long walking down to misery People point at me and they frown Then they whisper some to each other And I'd run away, but I know I got nowhere else to go No one to walk with No one to talk with Ah, no matter what I say Everybody always turns away And leaves me a-long walking down to misery Long walking down to misery
