Whole Lot of Lonesome

David Allan Coe

You put a whole lot of lonesome in me can't you see
You gave me a forest then burnt down the trees
You preached me a sermon until I believed
Then you put a whole lot of lonesome in me

I just wanted someone to take me you took me for all that you could
My friends all said you'd try to break me from drinkin'
But I never thought that you would Tammy
You put a whole lot of lonesome in me can't you see

I bought you that mansion you wanted so much but it never quite felt like home
The dreams that we once shared are shattered in two
And I've had to go on alone Tammy
You put a whole lot of lonesome in me can't you see
Yes I've got a whole lot of lonesome in me
