Misery, since my baby put me down
Misery, since my baby left town
Oh, she left me one night
and didn't even make a sound
Oh, misery, misery all the time
Oh, what a fool I was to ever be so blind
If she don't come on back,
I think I'm gonna lose my mind
Misery, misery from dark till dawn
Misery can make you feel so alone
She did everything for me,
but still I did my baby wrong
Oh, misery, oh, run away from me
Oh, misery, why don't you set me free
Oh, please let me be,
don't hang around me constantly
Oh, I'm gonna catch me a train
and head down that lonesome track
Yeah, if it takes me forever,
I'm gonna bring my baby back
Some misery, gotta wake up,
this poor boy's getting ready to pack
