Lonely Man

(Words & music by Benjamin - Marcus) It's a lonely man Who wanders all around It's a lonely man Who roams from town to town Searchin', always searchin' For something he can't find Hopin', always hopin' That some day fate will be kind It's a lonely man Who travels all alone When he has no one That he can call his own Always so unhappy Taking shelter where he can Here I am Come meet a lonely, lonely man Always so unhappy Taking shelter where he can Here I am Come meet a lonely, lonely man Here I am Come meet a lonely, lonely man (Words & music by Sid Tepper - Roy C. Bennett) I am just a lonesome cowboy And I'm travelling all alone I ain't even got a nickel To call my baby on the phone Just beyond the mountain lies a city And I hear it calling me Saddle up and ride you lonesome cowboy Here is where you'll find your destiny In my dreams the lights shine bright and pretty Near to me and yet so far Will I always be a lonesome cowboy Am I only reaching for a star Ride. Ride, ride, ride along cowboy Sing, sing, sing, sing a song cowboy Will I ever leave this lonesome valley Really see the lights that shine Gotta find what lies beyond the mountain Gotta rope and tie that dream of mine I am just a lonesome cowboy And I'm travelling all alone If you don't call me baby Then I'm never coming home (Words & music by V. Stovall - B. George) There's a long line of mourners Driving down our little street Their fancy cars are such a sight to see, oh yea They're all rich friends who knew you in the scene And now they've finally brought you Brought you home to me When you left you know you told me That some day you'd be returnin' In a fancy car, all the town to see, oh yea, Well now everyone is watching you You finally had your dream, yea You're ridin' in a long black limousine You know the papers told of how you lost your life, oh yea The party, the party and the fatal crash that night Well the race along the highway, oh the curve you didn't see When you're riding in that long black limousine Through tear filled eyes I watch as you pass by oh yea A chauffeur, a chauffeur at the wheel dressed up so fine Well I never, I never, never, never Oh my heart, all my dreams yea, they're with you In that long black limousine Yea, yea, they're with you in that long black limousine Yea, yea, they're with you in that long black limousine (Words & music by McFarland - Scott) All right I've been thumbin' rides travellin' light Walked the streets till past midnight Trampin' roads, trails and lanes Scaling cliffs fields and plains Searchin' till the early dawn For that long legged girl with the short dress on Riding trucks, bikes and skis Sailing lakes and brooks and seas Driving wagons, cars and jeeps Walking stilts in ten foot leaps Searchin' till the early dawn For that long legged girl with the short dress on And everywhere I go she's been and gone She's fine, it's just too bad she's the travellin' kind So fine, I just can't rest till I make her mine I've been from Maine to Tennessee, Mexico from Wahkiki Rain or shine, sleet or snow Searchin' high, searchin' low Everything depends upon That long legged girl with the short dress on She's fine, it's just too bad she's the travellin' kind So fine, I just can't rest till I make her mine I've been from Maine to Tennessee, Mexico from Wahkiki Rain or shine, sleet or snow Searchin' high, searchin' low Everything depends upon That long legged girl with the short dress on The long legged girl with the short dress on (Words & music by Pomus - Shuman) It's a long lonely highway when you're travellin' all alone And it's a mean old world when you got no-one to call your own And you pass through towns too small to even have a name, oh yes But you gotta keep on goin', on that road to nowhere Gotta keep on goin', though there's no-one to care Just keep movin' down the line It's a long lonely highway without her by my side And it's a trail full of teardrops that keep on being cried My heart's so heavy it's a low down dirty shame oh yes You gotta keep on goin', on that road to nowhere Gotta keep on goin', though there's no-one to care Just keep movin' down the line I gotta rock for my pillow 'neath a weeping willow And the cool grass for my bed My drinking water's muddy so don't you tell me buddy That I wouldn't be better off dead It's a long lonely highway gettin' longer all the time And if she don't come and get me Well, I'm gonna lose my mind So if you read about me tell her she's the one to blame, oh yes You gotta keep on goin', on that road to nowhere Gotta keep on goin', though there's no-one to care Just keep movin' down the line Movin' down the line Movin' down the line (words & music by Johnson - Penniman - Blackwell) Gonna tell Aunt Mary 'bout Uncle John He says he has the blues but He has a lotta fun Oh baby, yes baby, whoo-oo-oo-oo baby Havin' some fun tonight yeah well!

(Words & music by Jerry Chesnut) I remember how your eyes used to light up Over promises that I made But for the first time in my life I know now how it feels to be afraid I don't know what I'd do if you go away This would sure be one lonely old town For a man's so busy going up in the world That he couldn't see love coming down Love coming down I remember all the times you told me Love's all that matters to you And looking back now, wondering how I believed I had things more important to do I can see how I must have looked to you Like some fool on a merry-go-round And that a man's so busy going up in the world That he couldn't see love going down Love going down Can't you see how everything I've learned Would just be wasted if you leave me If you just give one more try I swear I'll always be here when you need me If you can find it in your heart to forgive me I'll try to keep both my feet on the ground But if a man's so busy going up in the world That he couldn't see love coming down Love coming down (words & music by Heyman - Young) Love letters straight from your heart Keep us so near while apart I'm not alone in the night When I can have all the love you write I memorize ev'ry line I kiss the name that you sign And darlin, then I read again right from the start Love letters straight from your heart (words & music Jerry Leiber - Mike Stoller) Treat me like a fool, Treat me mean and cruel, But love me.
