Lonesome Old House

Listen to the dark, lone tiki-tak

Listen to the rain, pondering the pain

Everything is quiet, quiet as a mouse

In this lonesome old house

In this lonesome old house

Everything is dark, dark of sight

Stars don't shine in the sky

Here I sit, no one about

In this lonesome old house

In this lonesome old house

Older lover left you and sunshine

They left when she said goodbye

There's no longer the sweet, sweet lips

And the loving sweeter than the sky

So let it be sad, keep a loving few

You be good to her, she'll be good to you

Don't you ever leave in this house

In this lonesome old house

In this lonesome old house
