In this lonesome old house
In this lonesome old house


Listen to the clock
A-going tick tock
Listen to the rain

On the window pane
Everything's quiet
Quiet as a mouse

In this lonesome old house
In this lonesome old house


Everything's dark
Dark outside
Stars don't shine

In the sky
Here I sit
No one about

In this lonesome old house
In this lonesome old house


All the love and laughter
And sunshine
Left when she said goodbye

There's no longer
The sweet, sweet lips
And that lovin'

That sweet lovin' smile

So let it be said

If your love is true
You be good to her
She'll be good to you

And don't you end up
Being without
In a lonesome old house

In a lonesome old house
