Early James and Sierra Ferrell - Real Low Down Lonesome

Everyday he stands in the shadow
Cast down from some old star
An awfully strange gallows trick
Lightning bugs stuck in a jar

And every day with her disaster
Striking matches all for the fun
Still I wait patiently
To feel the sun

But when she gets lonesome
I mean real down lonesome
She turns to me and she says

I'm feeling lonesome
I mean real down lonesome
And I'm needing someone
To help me through the night
Let me be your lonesome
Your real low down lonesome
And I just might help you
Help you feel alright

Another day and he still he follows
But there's a shifting in the wind
A weeping willow that's gone hollow
And he ain't gonna bend

I'm feeling lonesome
I mean real down lonesome
And I'm needing someone
To help me through the night
Woman, you won't know lonesome
Until you walk in my shoes some
No, there ain't no one
No one that's gonna help you feel alright

Now he walks along the bayou
Whistling in a minor key
No harmony or company
Not even a flicker to pursue

He's feeling lonesome
I mean real low down lonesome
And he's got no one to help him through the night
I'm feeling lonesome
I mean real low down lonesome
No, I ain't got no one
To help me through the night

We ain't got no one
To help us through the night
