[Scatting Intro]

[Verse 1]
Ah, well, my room has got two windows
But the sunshine never comes through
You know it's always dark and dreary
Since I broke up, baby, with you

[Pre-Chorus]
I live on a lonely avenue
My little girl wouldn't say, "I do"
Well, I feel so sad and blue
And it's all because of you

[Chorus]
Said I could cry (I could cry, I could cry)
I could die (I could die, I could die, I could die)
I live on a lonely avenue
It's a lonely avenue

[Verse 2]
Well, my covers, they feel like lead
And my pillow, it feels like stone
Oh, I toss and turn so every night
I'm not used to being alone
[Pre-Chorus]
I live on a lonеly avenue
My little girl wouldn't say, "I do"
Wеll, I feel so sad and blue
And it's all because of you

[Chorus]
I could cry (I could cry, I could cry)
I could die (I could die, I could die, I could die)
'Cause I live on a lonely avenue, yes sir (Lonely avenue)
(Lonely avenue)
Charlie Hunter, ow

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Well, well, I feel so sad and lonesome
Since my baby done left this town
You know if I could beg or borrow the money
Oh, how I would be highway-bound

[Pre-Chorus]
I live on a lonely avenue
My little girl wouldn't say, "I do"
Now I feel so sad and blue
And it's all because of you
[Chorus]
I said I could cry (I could cry, I could cry)
I could die, ooh (I could die, I could die, I could die)
I live on a lonely avenue (Lonely avenue)
It's a lonely avenue (Lonely avenue)
Said I could cry, I could cry, I could cry
I could die, I could die, I could die
Live on a lonely avenue (Lonely avenue)
It's a lonely avenue (Lonely avenue)
I could cry (I could cry, I could cry)
I could die, ooh (I could die, I could die, I could die)
'Cause I live on a lonely avenue (Lonely avenue)
It's a lonely avenue (Lonely avenue)
It's a lonely avenue (Lonely avenue)
I live on a lonely avenue (Lonely avenue)

[Outro]
Lonely, lonely, lonely
It's a lonely avenue, ooh
Ooh, yeah, (Ooh), yeah
