I'm so lonesome I could cry I never seen a night so long When times goes crawling by The moon just went behind a cloud To hide its face and cry
Instrumental verse
Did you ever see a robin weep When leaves began to die? Like me he's lost the will to live I'm so lonesome I could cry

The silence of a falling star Lights up a purple sky And as I wonder where you are I'm so lonesome I could cry

You start your jaws a waggin' and they never stop You never shut your mouth until I blow my top I'm leavin' now, I'm leavin' now I'm a long gone daddy, I don't need you anyhow I remember back when you were nice and sweet Things have changed, you'd rather fight than eat I'm leavin' now, I'm leavin' now I'm a long gone daddy, I don't need you anyhow
Instrumental verse
I'm gonna do some ridin' on the midnight train I'm taking everything except my ball and chain I'm leavin' now, I'm leavin' now I'm a long gone daddy, I don't need you anyhow
