Born Lonesome

The wind blew cold on that mountain On the night that I was made Pale moonlight poured on that cabin As shadows danced to a hoot owl's serenade When that fire burned down to ashes Daddy stared out the window pane Momma knew without askin' Her travelin' man had no plans to stay And his gypsy blood's a rushin' through my veins I came out cryin', wailin' like an old freight train Nurse tried to hold me but I just pushed her away Momma took to prayin', doc said, "He can't be saved Ma'am your baby boy's heart's already broken" I was born lonesome So girl try to forgive me If your goodbye don't send tears down my face Whether you leave me tonight or stay here with me I'll wake up feeling empty either way I'm at the mercy of my DNA I came out cryin', wailin' like an old freight train Nurse tried to hold me but I just pushed her away Momma took to prayin', doc said, "He can't be saved Ma'am your baby boy's heart's already broken" I was born lonesome Came out cryin', like an old freight train Nurse tried to hold me, I pushed her away Momma took to prayin', doc said, "He can't be saved" See girl, you can't break a heart already broken I was born lonesome No girl, you can't break a heart already broken I was born lonesome
