In this lonesome old house
In this lonesome old house

Listen to the clock
Going tick tock
Listen to the rain
On the window pain
Here it is quiet
Quiet as a mouse
In this lonesome old house
In this lonesome old house

Everything's dark
Dark outside
Stars don't shine
In the sky
Here I sit
No one about
In this lonesome old house
In this lonesome old house

All the love and laughter, and sunshine
Left when she said goodbye
There's no longer sweet, sweet lips
And that lovin', mmm sweet lovin' smile
So let me be sad
If your love is true
You be good to her
She'll be good to you
Don't you end up
Being without
In this lonesome old house
In a lonesome old house
