Lonely Home Blues

Got the lonely home blues on the top of the hill
I’m a-waiting on my baby, and I can’t stand still
There ain’t no asking or debating if my baby’s coming still
Got the lonely home blues on the top of the hill

How long must I wait for you or sit here by myself
I’ve been waiting so long alone but I can’t look at no one else
He’s as fair as a moonlight night with a kiss like no other’s touch
He’s got me here in my private cell with no way of breaking out

I’ve got the lonely home blues on the top of the hill
I’m a-waiting on my baby, and I can’t stand still
There ain’t no asking or debating if my baby’s coming still
Got the lonely home blues on the top of the hill

I am faithful, true, and I believe I’ll stay at home
Even through the days I fear my heart will always be alone
And my home is full of lonely fears that you’ve left too many times
You leave this home a sad old jail with no one to wait behind

I’ve got the lonely home blues on the top of the hill
I’m a-waiting on my baby, and I can’t stand still
There ain’t no asking or debating if my baby’s coming still
Got the lonely home blues on the top of the hill
