Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, nobody love me, babe
Nobody seem to care
Well, nobody love me, babe
Nobody seem to care
Well, ever since my mother passed
Nothin' but misery everywhere
[Verse 2]
Well, I ain't got no money, babe
And my best friends have put me down
Hallelujah
I said I ain't got no money, baby
And my best friends have put me down
Oh, Lord
Well, all of my good time buddies
Don't even come around
[Verse 3]
Well, if you listen to me, baby
Maybe I could find a new life in you
Well, if you listen to me, baby, child
Maybe I could find a new life in you
Well, if you'll be mine forever, babe
Child, I'll never again be blue
