Buffalo Nichols - Lost & Lonesome

If you see me in your town Looking tired with my head hanging down You may wonder what went wrong Why am I always all alone? Why am I always all alone? Well since I could remember I've been wandering on my own Looking lost and lonesome since I left my mother's home Well since I could remember I've been wandering on my own Looking lost and lonesome since I left my mother's home Looking lost and lonesome since I left my mother's home And they say, say I've got no friends But who can you really put your faith in in the end? 'Cause it's hard, hard to trust someone When loyalty is just a word that slips off of your tongue Loyalty is just a word and it slips off of your tongue I had to ask the question how you learn to love like that? She tried to answer as she pulled the knife out of her back And when I asked the question, how you learn to love again? You're going to suffer anyway, but it's better with a friend You're going to suffer anyway, ain't it better with a friend? Sometimes I see an old friend And we will talk about the places that we've been But then we go our separate ways Lost and lonesome 'til the end of our days Lost and lonesome 'til the end of our days
