LAST NIGHT... I CALLED UP... TO JESUS
AND ASKED IF I... COULD TALK TO… OL' HANK
WAS IT HIM... THAT HELPED TO... INSPIRE ME
AND WAS IT HIM... THAT I HAD… TO THANK

     LONG... GONE... AND LONESOME…
     AND I'M SO LONE... SOME THAT I COULD CRY…
     HELP ME UN…DERSTAND… WHY THE BLUES... COME AROUND…
     AND WILL THERE BE... NO TEARDROPS TONIGHT

WHEN SHE LEFT... IT AL...MOST KILLED ME…
TO KNOW THAT SHE... WAS WITH SOMEONE NEW…
MY GUITAR... BECAME MY... COMPANION…
I GUESS IT WAS... THE SAME WAY… FOR YOU

     LONG... GONE... AND LONESOME…
     AND I'M SO LONE... SOME THAT I COULD CRY…
     HELP ME UN…DERSTAND… WHY THE BLUES... COME AROUND…
     AND WILL THERE BE... NO TEARDROPS TONIGHT

     LONG... GONE... AND LONESOME…
     AND I'M SO LONE... SOME THAT I COULD CRY…
     HELP ME UN…DERSTAND… WHY THE BLUES... COME AROUND…
     AND WILL THERE BE... NO TEARDROPS TONIGHT

     WILL THERE BE... NO TEARDROPS…….. TO--NIGHT
