The Lonesomest Lonesome

Well, I scorched your favourite pan this morning, trying to make some pancakes
Spilled the grease and had to stop and mop the floor
Sat there like a little baby crying in my cornflakes
I don't think that I can take it any more
Baby, come home--this is the lonesomest lonesome I've ever known
Late last night I woke up trembling, with my arms wrapped 'round your pillow
And a lump as big as Texas in my throat
Sat there in the dark and played my guitar 'til the sun came up
And wrote the saddest song I ever wrote
Baby, come home--this is the lonesomest lonesome I've ever known
Lonesomest lonesome, oh, the saddest sad
The loneliest I've ever been alone
You've been the best thing this poor boy ever had
And now you're gone
Well, tonight I'm going to get down on my knees and say a prayer
For the first time since I can't remember when
Maybe if I'm lucky, when I wake up in the morning
You'll be soft and warm beside me once again
Baby, come home--this is the lonesomest lonesome
Lonesomest lonesome I've ever known
Lonesomest lonesome...
