Hello Miss Lonesome

Hello, Miss Lonesome
I see you're back in town
It's funny how I lose my mind when you come around
Papa thinks that he knows you
Mama knows you more
She knows where to hide when you come knocking at the door

The king in his castle
And the beggar on the street
Miss Lonesome's in the eyes of almost everyone you meet

The longest night that ever did occur
Was when my darling said goodbye and took the boy with her
Now we all pick our poison, we dig our own graves
And Jesus is accountable for every soul he saves

There's gold in the river and diamonds in the mines
Miss Lonesome knows that they ain't worth a drunkard's lucky dime

I see you're back in town
It's funny how I lose my mind when you come around

There's gold in the river and diamonds in the mines
Miss Lonesome knows that they ain't worth a drunkard's lucky dime
