Lonesome Blues Lyrics

Lay your head beside me

Lie down on my bed

Put away your nightgown

Though your cheeks are red

Let me see your body

Let me see your flesh

I will kiss it softly

It tastes so sweet and fresh

And I will touch your body

I will touch your heart

I will touch you carefully

Like a piece of art

And I will sing this lonesome blues

Until you fall asleep

But I will never gain your heart

It is not mine to keep

Put your arms around me

Put 'em 'round my neck

Give me just one sweet kiss

Get a thousand back

Will I see you naked

Lying down with me

To wake you in the morning

With a cup of tea

Time is passing slowly

Thoughts are running fast

I have seen the future

I still live in the past

Back when I sang this lonesome blues

Until you fell asleep

Yet I failed to gain your heart

It was not mine to keep
