lyrics

It’s a lonely place when no one is home
There’s a rickety chair and a good strong rope
She heard the clamour of the wood to the floor
He left nothing to mop; now her back’s so sore
From carrying that body to the bottom floor
No she never should have left him all alone
At least he can’t try it again
The jingle and the jangle from the chains that fit
To her highness; she’s now gotta bear within
She’s all locked up in her tower; she’ll pace
She’s an old, lame mare still trying to race
It’s taken a toll that she can’t face
Well, she should’ve just left well enough alone
Somebody ought to leave her all alone
she’ll do it again and again and again and again
I’m trying to get out of the state I’m in
I wanna go to the land where the weather is good
I can’t afford a train or a Greyhound fare
I thought of hitchhiking but I hate the rain
Guess I’ve got no right to complain
Just don’t leave me here standing all alone
You should never leave a quiet man alone
