Well I walked all night long Hearin’ them church bells toll    Yes I walked all night long Listening to them church bells toll     Either someone needing mercy Maybe somethin’ I’ve done wrong. Well your friends come by for you I don’t know what to say Well your friends come by for you I don’t know what to say I just can’t face up to tell ’em Honey you just went away. The children cry for mother I tell ’em "Mother took a trip.’’ Children cry for mother I tell ’em "Mother took a trip.’’ Well I walk on pins and needles I hope my tongue don’t slip. I gaze at passing strangers In case I might see you Well I gaze at passing strangers In case I might see you But the sun goes around the heavens Another day just drives on through. Way out in the distance I know you’re with some other man Way out in the distance I know you’re with some other man But that’s all right baby You know I always will understand. Call girls in the doorway All givin’ me the eye Call girls in the doorway All give me the eye But my heart’s just not in it I might as well pass right on by. My ears are ringin’ Ringin’ like empty shells My ears are ringin’ Ringin’ like empty shells Well it can’t be no guitar player It must be combat bells.
