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
