Lonely Room

[JUD]
The floor creaks
The door squeaks
There's a fieldmouse a-nibblin' on a broom
And I set by myself
Like a cobweb on a shelf
By myself in a lonely room

But when there's a moon in my winder
And it slants down a beam 'cross my bed
Then the shadder of a tree starts a-dancin' on the wall
And a dream starts a-dancin' in my head

And all the things that I wish fer
Turn out like I want them to be
And I'm better than that smart-aleck cowhand
Who thinks he is better'n me

And the girl I want
Ain't afraid of my arms
And her own soft arms keep me warm
And her long, yeller hair
Falls across my face
Jist like the rain in a storm

The floor creaks
The door squeaks
And the mouse starts a-nibblin' on the broom
And the sun flicks my eyes—
It was all a pack o' lies
I'm awake in a lonely room

I ain't gonna dream about her arms no more
I ain't gonna leave her alone
Goin' outside
Git myself a bride
Git me a woman to call
My own
