[Verse 1]
Twenty seven days i’ve been out on the road
I’m a nervous wreck, I gotta get back home
There’s a young bride waiting for me all alone
Lord, how she misses me
I can see her sitting in the kitchen chair
In a cotton dress with her long black hair
But a woman ain’t pretty if a man ain’t there
That i can’t afford to be
[Chorus]
It’s a shame, it’s a shame
She won’t be the one to blame
Oh the hurtinest thing in the whole wide world
Is the heart of a lonely girl
[Verse 2]
Like a red-tail fox to a blue tick hound
She’s the hottest thing for miles around
All them other boys in our hometown
Got tricks hid up their sleeves
Now it ain’t her that i don’t trust
She’s pretty and pure as diamond dust
But lonesome is this lonesome girl
She can’t help for what she needs
Twenty seven days i’ve been out on the road
I’m a nervous wreck, I gotta get back home
There’s a young bride waiting for me all alone
Lord, how she misses me
I can see her sitting in the kitchen chair
In a cotton dress with her long black hair
But a woman ain’t pretty if a man ain’t there
That i can’t afford to be
[Chorus]
It’s a shame, it’s a shame
She won’t be the one to blame
Oh the hurtinest thing in the whole wide world
Is the heart of a lonely girl
[Verse 2]
Like a red-tail fox to a blue tick hound
She’s the hottest thing for miles around
All them other boys in our hometown
Got tricks hid up their sleeves
Now it ain’t her that i don’t trust
She’s pretty and pure as diamond dust
But lonesome is this lonesome girl
She can’t help for what she needs
