Poor Old Heartsick Me

　　Poor Old Heartsick Me-Carlene Carter

　　Poor old heartsick me

　　Twice as lonely as a girl ought to be

　　What will the future be

　　For poor old heartsick me

　　I thought I was mute to that big yellow moon

　　And its magic fell all of pure snow

　　In the moonlight it s hard to keep a heart on guard

　　Against love that s waiting to grow

　　As I m enclosed in your arms, all my calls for alarm

　　Just roll on like the waves in the sea

　　When you cast me aside, I just hatch down and cry

　　Poor old heartsick me

　　Poor old heartsick me

　　Twice as lonely as a girl ought to be

　　What will the future be

　　For poor old heartsick me

　　You re made part out of me as God made Adam for Eve

　　It s the same as He made you for me

　　What if Adam like you had gone off rambling, too

　　What kind of this old world would this be

　　You don t want to admit that you, too, have been bit

　　By that love god, those tiny teeth

　　Why don t you realize, you just mean paradise

　　Poor old heartsick me

　　Poor old heartsick me

　　Twice as lonely as a girl ought to be

　　What will the future be

　　For poor old heartsick me

　　For poor old heartsick me
