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
