Real Low Down Lonesome

Every day he stands in the shadow Cast down from some old star An awfully strange gallows trick Lightning bugs stuck in a jar And every day with her disaster Striking matches all for the fun Still I wait patiently To feel the sun But when she gets lonesome I mean real down lonesome She turns to me and she says I'm feeling lonesome I mean real down lonesome And I'm needing someone To help me through the night Let me be your lonesome Your real low down lonesome And I just might help you Help you feel alright Another day and still he follows But there's a shifting in the wind A weeping willow that's gone hollow And he ain't gonna bend I'm feeling lonesome I mean real down lonesome And I'm needing someone To help me through the night Woman, you won't know lonesome Until you walk in my shoes some No, there ain't no one No one that's gonna help you feel alright Now he walks along the bayou Whistling in a minor key No harmony or company Not even a flicker to pursue He's feeling lonesome I mean real low down lonesome And he's got no one to help him through the night I'm feeling lonesome I mean real low down lonesome No, I ain't got no one To help me through the night We ain't got no one To help us through the night
