I'm just a lonely boy
Can't help but feel the blues
I've been thinking, oh man, about drinking
But what can I lose?

Won't someone please help me
Lose these lonesome boy blues

Well, I looked the towns all over
Been around from coast to coast
Yes, I looked the towns all over, oh man
I've been around from coast to coast
I found out that all women are the same
They want the man who's got the most
Yes, they do

Well, I met a girl in Florida, oh man
Lord, she was a real macaw
Yes, I met a girl in Florida
Lord, she was a real macaw
But I was so disappointed
So I'm still just a lonely boy

Oh man, oh Lord
