Bill Anderson - Lonesome Is The Mother Of Soul lyrics

rate me

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

[ steel ]

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...

Lonesome is the mother of soul
