Well I ain't gonna sing no lonesome tune

Oh, Babe, I'm coming soon

I cannot believe I stayed so long away.

But a man must look around

And you're the sweetest thing I've found

Your lost high roller's rolling home today.



Well my daddy said to me

Son, it's hard as you will see

To find someone upon whom to rely.

And in the kitchen Mama sneezed

And he grinned big as you please

Said "Bless you" and a tear come to his eye.



Well I did decide that very day

That I would like to live that way

And now I know I've just been wasting time.

It's with you that I should be

And if you feel the same about me

Well I'm headed home along the straightest line.



I ain't gonna sing no lonesome tune

Oh, Baby, I'm coming soon

I cannot believe I stayed so long away.

But a man must look around

And you're the sweetest thing I've found

Your lost high roller's rolling home today.
