"I Live Alone" lyrics

I live alone
I live alone
I live alone
I do not need nobody to keep me warm

After 20 hours of labor
Mamma had a boy
Was a dark-eyed baby
He was her pride and her joy
Got a little older
Daddy wasn't home
Dark-eyes turns to mamma
Said I ain't livin' here no more

I live alone
I live alone
I live alone
I do not need nobody to keep me warm

After 20 years of living
Running on the street
Boy, he learned to travel
Became so light on his feet
Met a couple women
Chased him 'round the globe
He said they don't understand
I just want to be alone

I live alone
I live alone

I don't need nobody
To take care of me
I live alone
I can do better by myself
I live alone
