Feeling forlorn and lonesome
All the way home
I down my drink and I sit down to think
Of ways that I could feel again
I met a fine lady named Mary
And "You could use a smile" she said
"For a nickel and dime, you'll have a good time
I could be your Magdalene"
Woe-oh-woe is me
I loved my baby and she left me
And no-ow now I see
That a good time and whiskey is all I need
I've tried to drown my memories
Help me forget her, won't you please
Cause it's been so long since I've felt love's touch
And it don't cost very much
Aaa-aaa-aaa
Aaa-aaa-aaa
Aaa-aaa-aaa
Aaa-aaa-aaa-aaaa
I stumbled into an old juke joint
Said give me six cups and the world
But the girl at the bar dealing futures in cards
Put black aces and eights in my hand
(And all I can do is sing)
[Scat]
Woe-oh-woe is me
I loved another who won't have me
And no-ow now I see
That a good time and whiskey is all I need
I've tried to drown my memories
So help me baby, won't you please
Cause it's been so long since I've felt love's touch
And it don't cost very much
Aaa-aaa-aaa
Aaa-aaa-aaa
Aaa-aaa-aaa
Aaa-aaa-aaa-aaaa
