Oh my baby's gone
Laying by the river wide-eyed so still and cold
Mmm my baby's dead
Shot her cold blooded laying down with another man
Now i'm so lonely
Tied to a river stone
Take her out so far were no one ever goes
Deep in the everglades
And when the lawman comes looking round this is what i'll say
She done ran out on me
Now i'm so lonely
Oh sweet Mary Jane
Pull you to my lips and take you in to ease the pain
I don't regret what i done
But i say a little prayer and hope that we will meet again
Cause i'm so lonely
Lonely
