Sometimes I get lonesome Well, it's a natural thing But I guess it don't help none When you feelin' lowdown Well, I wish I had someone It's always the same old thing I wish I had someone Singing with me Well, I went down to the river Now, I'm out by the shore Now, swim in deep waters Till I can't breathe no more Rocks on the mountains And the shells in the sea In the radio flyers No answers for me I ain't got nobody And it's always the same old thing I wish I had someone Singing with me Well, I went down to the river Now, I'm out by the shore Now, swim in deep waters Till I can't breathe no more So if you're out walking And you see me out drownin' Well, you can call up the sailors Or you can stand there and watch (Or you can bring me your lifeboat) (And you can reach out your hands and see) (I get by with someone) (Singing with me) (Well, I get by with someone) (Singing with me) Well, sing me a song that you already know And I'll sing it to you if I know how it goes And we'll walk through the evening, no worries or woes And we'll dance on the night like the moon does Dance on the night like the moon does
