I’m past sixteen and I’ve never been kissed

I’m past sixties and I’ve never been missed

The days are as blue as the sky above me

Oh where is that someone who will come to love me.

I live in a town not far from you

My hair is brown and my eyes are blue.

My soul is lonely and my heart is true

All I need is somebody like you.

I came here when I was only three

My house stands under a cottonwood tree.

The breezes blow but let me be

They cry “What a lonely one is she.”

The stars look down on me and say

Sometime he will come your way

He’ll give his heart and love to you

Then your lonesome days will all be through.

I live in a town not far from you

My hair is brown and my eyes are blue.

My soul is lonely and my heart is true.

All I need is somebody like you.
