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 Hello (hello, hello) Miss Lonesome 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 Miss Lonesome knows they ain't worth a drunkard's lucky dime
