You put a whole lot of lonesome in me can't you see
You gave me a forest then burnt down the trees
You preached me a sermon until I believed
Then you put a whole lot of lonesome in me
I just wanted someone to take me you took me for all that you could
My friends all said you'd try to break me from drinkin'
But I never thought that you would Tammy
You put a whole lot of lonesome in me can't you see
I bought you that mansion you wanted so much but it never quite felt like home
And I've had to go on alone Tammy
You put a whole lot of lonesome in me can't you see
Yes I've got a whole lot of lonesome in me
