In this lonesome old house In this lonesome old house Listen to the clock A-going tick tock Listen to the rain On the window pane Everything's quiet Quiet as a mouse In this lonesome old house In this lonesome old house Everything's dark Dark outside Stars don't shine In the sky Here I sit No one about In this lonesome old house In this lonesome old house All the love and laughter And sunshine Left when she said goodbye There's no longer The sweet, sweet lips And that lovin' That sweet lovin' smile So let it be said If your love is true You be good to her She'll be good to you And don't you end up Being without In a lonesome old house In a lonesome old house
