Songtexte 11. Lonely Room - LEE CASS

The floor creaks
The door squeaks
There's a field mouse nibblin' on the broom
And I sit by myself
Like a cobweb on a shelf
By myself in a lonely room

But when there's a moon in my window
And it slants down a beam 'cross my bed
Then the shadow of a tree starts a-dancin' on the wall
And a dream starts a-dancin' in my head

And all the things that I wish for
Turn out like I want them to be
And I'm betterin' that smart aleck cowhand
Who thinks he's better'n me

And the girl that I want
Ain't afraid of my arms
And her old soft arms keep me warm
And her long yellow hair
Falls across my face
Just like the rain in a storm

The floor creaks
The door squeaks
And the mouse starts a-nibblin' on the broom
And the sun flicks my eyes
It was all a pack o' lies
I'm awake in a lonely room

I ain't gonna dream 'bout her arms no more
I ain't gonna leave her alone
Goin' outside
Git myself a bride
Git me a girl and I'll call my own
