LONELY MAN
(Tom T. Hall)


Dave Dudley - 1966





>From the dark and lonely part of town
Comes a man nobody wants around
Dressed in black, I cry across the land
It's a hurt, it's a pain, it's lonely man

I am lonely man, lonely and blue
You'll never know I never did get over you
My longing for you is the best kept secret in the land
It's a hurt, it's a pain, it's lonely man

Nobody knows my true identity
They'll never know how much you're hurting me
A smile is my disguise and that's my plan
It's a hurt ,it's a pain, it's lonely man

I am lonely man, lonely and blue
You'll never know I never did get over you
My longing for you is the best kept secret in the land
It's a hurt, it's a pain, it's lonely man
It's a hurt, it's a pain, it's lonely man
