I've been misery'n,
Ever since my daddy gone.
Yeah, I've been, honey, 
I've been misery'n, 
Yes I have, now.
Ever since my, 
Since my daddy gone.
Gone, gone.
But I believe that it won't,
Baby, it won't be too long,
If I just could hang on,
Yeah, until my, til my misery,
Will all be gone.
 
I, I said my rooms, you know,
They're so empty, empty, empty, empty, empty.
Filled up with sadness, sometimes, yeah.
MYYY, rooms are so empty, empty, empty, empty.
Child, filled up with sadness, 
Honey, sometimes, sometimes.
Oh well, it just, it just moves in,
Like the fog rolls in.
And I find I , well I can't see you, baby,
For my tears.

Well, I've tried.
Don't you know I've tried.
Cried, cried, cried, cried, cried.
Baby, now, I've been missin' you.
Oh, I've been missin' you babe.

Yeah, and it all seem to bother me,
Much more that it seem it should be.
So, baby, now, now,
Baby, now, now,
Baby, tell me why,
Does it have to be,
Oh, so wrong for me?

No, no ,no never did.
Never did.
Why am I feelin' so strange?
IIIIIiIiIiiiiIIIIIiiIiiiI never, never, never needed nobody,
No, no,
But maybe you could help me.
Why am I feelin' so strange?

Yeah, I've got me a great, 
I got a great big bed,
With pillows for my head.
But, lately I've been sleepin',
Sleepin' alone.

Don't you know I've tried.
Cried, cried,
You know how I've cried.
Baby, I've been missin' you.

Baby, now, I've been missin' you.
