[Verse 1]
Well, this just isn't workin'
You sure have been a-shirkin'
You sure have been set in your ways
You say that you want me
You tease and you taunt me
You tease and you go astray
There's no use denyin'
I know you've been a-lyin'
I know you've been a-doin' me wrong
And through all this grievin'
You best be believin'
It's hard to get along
[Chorus]
One of these lonesome mornings
Won't be very long
You're gonna look for me, darlin'
Darlin', I'll be gone
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
Well, my heart is a-burnin'
I'm young and I'm yearnin'
I'm young, but I won't be for long
Mm, my mind is a-reelin'
I'm hurtin' for healin'
I'm hurtin' for somethin' strong
There's no use in tryin'
I can't keep from cryin'
But I can't keep from goin' on
And through all this grievin'
You best be believin'
It's hard to tell right from wrong
[Chorus]
One of these lonesome mornings
Won't be very long
You're gonna look for me, darlin'
Darlin', I'll be gone
[Outro]
Darlin', I'll be gone
