Have you ever been lonesome I think you know what I'm talkin' about I said have you ever been lonesome Ohhh I think you know what I'm talkin' about You know I like to be in a dark room And no one there to let me out I remember way back You know when I was about the age of nine Oh, I said I remember ohh,ohh, way, way, way back I think about the age of nine You know I think about some of the good times I was havin' in those days People and you know it sure to do worry my mind You know I hate to remember All those times have slipped by and gone Ohh, I said I hate, Lord, I hate to remember Listen, all those times have slipped by and they're gone You know I get that feeling every now and then I think I might get my rags and I think I move, move on back home I still remember that little girl We used to run around and play with no shoes on our feet Oh, I said, I still remember that little girl We used to walk around and play with no shoes on our feet All those memories go through my mind And I tell the world that worries me
