| There’s a fallacy misconceived
|
| It was my mistake to havin' said it
|
| And the blunder grows ship to shore
|
| And nobody likes me anymore
|
| Especially Linda, especially Linda
|
| No matter how I’m tryin'
|
| She only hisses goodbye
|
| And now I am a-long walking down to misery
|
| Long walking down to misery
|
| I just had to prove me a man
|
| In the presence of that dandy
|
| And I listen on till he quit
|
| Then I deceived him just a bit
|
| Concerning Linda, concerning Linda
|
| And no matter what I say
|
| She always turns away
|
| And now I am a-long walking down to misery
|
| Long walking down to misery
|
| If I’d known he talks aloud
|
| I’d never said a word
|
| He was lying just like me
|
| Long walking down to misery
|
| Long walking down to misery
|
| People point at me and they frown
|
| Then they whisper some to each other
|
| And I’d run away, but I know
|
| I got nowhere else to go
|
| No one to walk with
|
| No one to talk with
|
| Ah, no matter what I say
|
| Everybody always turns away
|
| And leaves me a-long walking down to misery
|
| Long walking down to misery |
