Long Walking Down to Misery - The Beau Brummels

There’s a fallacy misconceived

It was my mistake to havin' said it

And the blunder grows ship to shore

And nobody likes me anymore

Especially Linda, especially Linda

No matter how I’m tryin'

She only hisses goodbye

And now I am a-long walking down to misery

Long walking down to misery

I just had to prove me a man

In the presence of that dandy

And I listen on till he quit

Then I deceived him just a bit

Concerning Linda, concerning Linda

And no matter what I say

She always turns away

And now I am a-long walking down to misery

Long walking down to misery

If I’d known he talks aloud

I’d never said a word

He was lying just like me

Long walking down to misery

Long walking down to misery

People point at me and they frown

Then they whisper some to each other

And I’d run away, but I know

I got nowhere else to go

No one to walk with

No one to talk with

Ah, no matter what I say

Everybody always turns away

And leaves me a-long walking down to misery

Long walking down to misery
