Porter Wagoner – Lonelyville

Well I’m movin’ from the bright lights of the city

To a place where the sun don’t shine and it never will

A town where no one knows the population I’m movin’ to a place called Lonelyville

The street lights there are black as the bottom of a coalmine

And the faces you see there will make you chill

The dark and lonely sidewalks of that city are waitin’ now for me in Lonelyville

[ steel ]

This town’s changed a lot since my love left here

Her love left my world so cold and still

So I’m movin’ to a place where no one knows me

A dark and lonely place called Lonelyville

And the street lights there…

They’re waitin’ now for me in Lonelyville
