Lefty Left Us Lonely

LEFTY LEFT US LONELY Words and music by Boxcar Willie nd Fret/KEY: Now Lefty came from Texas At least that what they say He cut a record down in Dallas It really got 'im on his way You could hear 'im on ev'ry jukebox In ev'ry town and state Ev'ry DJ played - Always Late. Now Lefty wasn't no saint He didn't claim to be He could sing a country song Send cold chills through me Like the son of a Saginaw fisherman He sang --- in Saginaw, Michigan If you got money, honey, I've got the time When he sang that song, well, he nearly blew my mind I'd walk for miles, cry or daddy And it cry. Lefty left us lonely He left before his time But I can see 'im singin' now to an angel At that Opry in the sky I'm just an old, old man a-lookin' for fun Why, oh! why, do you do me this way? If you got money, honey, I've got the time When he sang that song, well, he nearly blew my mind I'd walk for miles, cry or smile, for my mama and daddy Oh! why, oh! why, oh! why, do you do me this way? TAG: Yeah! Oh! why, oh! why, oh! why, do you do me this way? {P} Always Late.
