in 1987.

INTRO:

#1.

For my name just call me lonely and my past,

just say it's bad.

But the story I'm about to tell you may sound

a little sad.

Well, I never had nothin', all I ever owned

was pain.

A D

I was about to lose myself and then I met Mary.

CHORUS:

Whoa, my darlin', oh, my darlin' oh, my darlin'..

darlin', don't fall in love with me.

Cause I will only make you lonely, lonely just

like me.

Oh, my darlin', oh, my darlin' oh, my darlin'..

darlin', oh, my darlin', can't you see, just say

goodbye, I'll understand dear, and walk away from

me.

#2.

But my darlin' she wouldn't listen, she said, boy,

shut your mouth.

If two people love each other, they should try to

work it out.

So, I listened to my darlin' and my life was filled

G A

with glee, but one night at a party, some bad luck

came to me.

#3.

There was a guy dancin' with my darlin' and as he

G A

danced her across the floor, I heard a scream and I

ran to him because it was my Mary's voice.

He was holdin' to my Mary and I begged him to let

her be.

All I could hear was my Mary cryin' because he placed

his knife in me.

CHORUS:

Oh, my darlin', oh, my darlin' oh, my darlin'..

darlin', darlin', don't you cry for me.

Although my fate just wouldn't wait to show me my

destiny.

CHORUS:

I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid, I will

go where I'm led.

God bless you for standin' by me, and God bless you for
