The trees were a swayin'
To the songs that she was singin'
Sittin' on the back porch of her country home
Then the moon would start to glowin'
The soft breeze start to blowin'
And she would sing the blues, but nobody would ever hear
And she'd sing,
Nobody wants me
They left me all alone
My mama's out drinkin' and my daddy is dead and gone
Nobody wants me
They left me all alone
So I'm a singin' the blues, but thank you Lord
For giving me another day
When the sun come up, this girl would rise
You know her day was long and hard
She didn't have much money since papa up and died
Workin' in the store on down the road
Shoulda heard the stories she done told
About the life that she'd been livin'
In that little old country home
She'd sing,
Nobody wants me
They left me all alone
My mama's out drinkin' and my daddy is dead and gone
Nobody wants me
They left me all alone
So I'm a singin' the blues, but thank you Lord
For giving me another day
Her voice touched me sweetly
As I rambled through the meadow
Floated down so soft and lingered in my ears
I followed the voice till I saw her there
Singin' lonesome words into the air
Such a beautiful lady, I listened to her as she sang
And she'd sing,
Nobody wants me
They left me all alone
My mama's out drinkin' and my daddy is dead and gone
Nobody wants me
They left me all alone
So I'm a singin' the blues, but thank you Lord
For giving me another day
I said I'm singin' the blues, but thank you Lord
For giving me another day
