Bill Anderson - Lonesome Is The Mother Of Soul lyrics

They say, I sing my songs with lots of blue eyed soul

What they mean is Lord, I sing it sad

But feeling like I feel, I can't sing no other way

She left me Lord, and oh, I hurt so bad.

And lonesome is the mother of soul

And lonesome gave birth to my blues

I'm the orphan child of emptiness

The son of heartache untold

And lonesome is the mother of soul.

I thought that hurts like this

Were saved for those who are dying

Lord, I must be dying and not know

The soulful sound you hear from me

Is only my heart crying

I'm lonesome and I miss my baby so.

And lonesome is the mother of soul

And lonesome gave birth to my blues

I'm the orphan child of emptiness

The son of heartache untold

And lonesome is the mother of soul.

Lonesome is the mother of soul...
