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 cant 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 Im 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 Im lonesome and I miss my baby so And lonesome is the mother of soul and lonesome gave birth to my blues Im the orphan child of emptiness the son of heartache untold And lonesome is the mother of soul Lonesome is the mother of soul
