You've been searchin' all of your life
For a good good woman that'll treat you right
But now that I'm here, you can't understand
I'm the only one that can love you, love you like no one can
You'll be lonely you'll be lonely
After I'm gone after I'm gone
You'll be lonely you'll be lonely
After I'm gone after I'm gone
Now didn't I tell you, in my lovin' arms
When you was down and out yeah, and lost all of your charm
You let me feed you, keep you warm at night
It's gonna come around baby, it's your time to cry
You'll be lonely you'll be lonely
After I'm gone after I'm gone
You'll be lonely you'll be lonely
After I'm gone after I'm gone
You've been searchin' all of your life
For a good good woman that'll treat you right
But now that I'm here, you can't understand
I'm the only one that can love you, love you like no one can
You'll be lonely you'll be lonely
After I'm gone after I'm gone
You'll be lonely you'll be lonely
After I'm gone after I'm gone
Don't go hungry
After I'm gone
Cry my a river
After I'm gone
