Compositor: Tom T. Hall
From the dark and lonely part of town comes a man nobody wants around
Dressed in black I cry across the land it's a hurt it's a pain it's lonely man
I am lonely man lonely and blue you'll never know I never did get over you
My longing for you is the best kept secret in the land
It's a hurt it's a pain it's lonely man
Nobody knows my true identity they'll never know how much you're hurting me
A smile is my disguise and that's my plan it's a hurt it's a pain it's lonely man
I am lonely man...
It's a hurt it's a pain it's lonely man
