歌词
The wind blew cold on that mountain
On the night that I was made
Pale moonlight poured on that cabin
As shadows danced to a hoot owl's serenade
When that fire burned down to ashes
Daddy stared out the windowpane
Momma knew without asking
Her traveling man had no plans to stay
And his gypsy blood's a-rushing through my veins
I came out crying, wailing like an old freight train
The nurse tried to hold me, but I just pushed her away
Momma took to praying, Doc said, "He can't be saved
Ma'am, your baby boy's heart's already broken"
I was born lonesome
So girl, try to forgive me
If your goodbye don't send tears down my face
Whether you leave me tonight or stay here with me
I'll wake up feeling empty either way
I'm at the mercy of my DNA
I came out crying, wailing like an old freight train
The nurse tried to hold me, but I just pushed her away
Momma took to praying, Doc said, "He can't be saved
Ma'am, your baby boy's heart's already broken."
I was born lonesome
I came out crying, like an old freight train (like an old freight train)
The nurse tried to hold me, I pushed her away
Momma took to praying, Doc said, "He can't be saved"
(No, he can't be saved)
See, girl, you can't break a heart already broken
I was born lonesome
No, girl, you can't break a heart already broken
I was born lonesome
