For my name, just call me lonely
And my past, just say it's bad
But the story I'm about to tell you
May sound a little sad
Well I never had nothing,
all I ever owned was me
I was about to lose myself
and then I met Mary
Oh my darling, oh my darling,
oh my darling
Darling don't fall in love with me
I will only make you lonely
Lonely just like me
Oh my darlin' oh my darlin'
oh my darlin'
Oh my darlin' can't you see
To say goodbye
I'll understand it
And walk away from me
But my darlin' she wouldn't listen
She said boy you shut your mouth
If two people really love each other
They should try and work it out
So I listened to my Mary
And my life was filled with glee
But one night at a party
Some bad luck came to me
There was a guy messin' with my Mary
And I begged him to let her be
All I could hear was my Mary cryin'
Because he placed his knife in me
Oh my darlin', oh my darlin',
oh my darlin'
Don't you cry for me
I will only make you lonely
Lonely just like me
Oh my darling, oh my darling, oh my darling
Oh my darling, now can't you see
Just say goodbye,
I will understand it
Then walk away from me
Just say goodbye,
I will understand it
