Intro

I can see her sittin in the kitchen chair

In a cotton dress with her long black hair

But a woman aint pretty if a man aint there

Like I cant afford to be

Chorus

Its a shame its a shame

She wont be the one to blame

Oh the hurtinest thing in the whole wide world

Is the heart of a lonely girl

Intro

Like a red-tail fox to a blue tick hound

Shes the hottest thing for miles around

All them other boys in our hometown

Got tricks hid up their sleeves

Now it aint her that I dont trust

Shes pretty and pure as diamond dust

But lonesome is this lonesome girl

She cant help what she needs

Chorus

Its a shame its a shame

She wont be the one to blame

Oh the hurtinest thing in the whole wide world

Is the heart of a lonely girl

The heart of a lonely girl

The heart of a lonely girl

Oh the hurtinest thing in the whole wide world

Is the heart of a lonely girl

Solo

same as chorus)x2

Daddy was a rambler just like me

I guess the apple dont fall too far from the tree

When I ask why momma had to go that day

Well he dont know and she wont say

Chorus

Its a shame its a shame

She wont be the one to blame

Oh the hurtinest thing in the whole wide world

Is the heart of a lonely girl

Its a shame its a shame

She wont be the one to blame

Oh the hurtinest thing in the whole wide world

Is the heart of a lonely girl

Oh the hurtinest thing in the whole wide world

Is the heart of a lonely girl
