Once I had a lust for life that could never be controlled
A passion for the madness that never would get old
Carousin' round all over town with a beauty by my side
But now that girl is gone away and I am left to cry
Now I walk alone, forever wandering 'round
No one to call my own, a lonely man about town
Once I was a poet, yes I had a way with words
But I don't write any more, and I know it sounds absurd
I have no inspiration, no thoughts cross my mind
My notebook is full of my lovers' name, written a million times
Now I walk alone, forever wandering 'round
No one to call my own, a lonely man about town
Yesterday down by the river, saw my girl, tall and fair
She was with another man who was playing with her hair
Upon her hand there brightly shone a diamond wedding ring
And as I turned to walk away all I could do was sing
I'll always walk along, forever wandering 'round
No one to call my own a lonely man about town
