A fly will stick to jelly and wood will stick to glue
But a man won't stick to a woman no matter what you do
Along the way, I know I’ve had a few

That man o' mine is triflin' and he don't treat me right
He's got another sweetie, he stays there late at night
That is why I've got those lonesome desert blues

I'm gonna travel to the desert
Out in the western land
I'm gonna ease my troubles
Down in the burnin' sand

Temptation he can't refuse
That man o' mine, I know I'm bound to lose

My mind is like a row boat
Out on the stormy sea, oh yeah
Oh, it’s with me right now
In the mornin' where will it be?

Oh Lord, oh Lord
Oh Lord, oh Lord
Oh Lord, oh Lordy Lord, have mercy

Oh, I’m so nervous, I'm shakin’ in my shoes
I'm burnin' up, I've got those lonesome desert blues
