[Verse 1]
For my name, just call me lonely
And my past, just say it's bad
But the story I'm about to tell you
May sound a little sad
Well, I never had nothing
All I ever owned was me
I was about to lose myself
And then I met Mary
[Chorus]
Oh, my darling, oh, my darling, oh, my darling
Darling don't you cry for me
'Cause I will only make you lonely, lonely just like me
Oh, my darling, oh, my darling, oh, my darling
Oh, my darling, now can't you see?
Just say goodbye; I'll understand it
And walk away from me
[Verse 2]
But my darling, she wouldn't listen
She said boy, you shut your mouth
If two people really love each other
They should try to work it out
So I listened to my Mary
And my life was filled with glee
But one night at a party
Some bad luck came to me
There was a guy messing with my Mary
And I begged him to let her be
All I could hear was my Mary crying
Because he placed his knife in me
[Chorus]
Oh, my darling, oh, my darling, oh, my darling
Darling don't you cry for me
'Cause I will only make you lonely, lonely just like me
Oh, my darling, oh, my darling, oh, my darling
Oh, my darling, now can't you see?
Just say goodbye; I'll understand it
And walk away from me
Just say goodbye; I'll understand it
And walk away from me
