Ah wanna tell ya 'bout a girl

You know, she lives in Room 29

Why that's the one right up top a mine

Ah start to cry, ah start to cry-y

O ah hear her walkin'

Walkin' barefoot cross the floorboards

All through this lonesome night

And ah hear her crying too

Hot tears come splashin' down

Leakin' through the cracks

Down upon my face, ah catch 'em in my mouth!

Walk 'n' Cry, Walk 'n' Cry-y!

From her to eternity

From her to eternity

From her to eternity

Ah read her diary on her sheets

Scrutinizin' ev'ry li'l piece of dirt.

Tore out a page 'n' stufft it inside my shirt.

Fled outta the window

And shinning it down the vine

Outta her nightmare and back into mine.

Mine! O mine!

From her to eternity

From her to eternity

From her to eternity

Cry! Cry! Cry!

She's wearin' them bloo-stockens, ah bet!

And standin' like this with my ear to the ceiling

Listen, ah know it must sound absurd

But ah can hear the most melancholy sound

Ah ever heard!

Walk 'n' Cry! Kneel 'n' Cry-y!

From her to eternity

From her to eternity
