The Lonesomes - Dolly Parton

Written by：Dolly Parton

My heart's as heavy as an anvil

My tears are puddled in my eyes

And time seems to be at a standstill

I've really got the lonesomes tonight

Feels like I'm never gonna make it

I'd like to lie right down and die

It's so very hard to fake it

I've really got the lonesomes tonight

Just like that old song by Hank Williams;

I am so lonesome I could cry

Can't seem to shake these sad old feelin's

I've really got the lonesomes tonight

'Cause I've really got the lonesomes tonight

Oooh I'm pretty sad

Oh I hope tomorrow will ring truer

And I'll awake and I will be all right

But right now I couldn't feel much bluer

Can't shake these lonely memories inside

Oh but my heart's as heavy as an anvil

My tears are all puddled in my eyes

And my mind has really got its hands full

I've really got the lonesomes tonight

You got that right

I've really got the lonesomes tonight

But I'll be all right

I've really got the lonesomes tonight

Got the lonesomes
