my name should be trouble 
my name should be woe 
for trouble and heartache  
is all that i know 
well, lonely, lonely blue boy is my name 
 
my life has been empty  
my heart has been torn 
it must have been raining 
the night i was born 
well, lonely, lonely blue boy is my name 
 
i am so afraid of tomorrow 
and so tired of today 
they say that love is the answer 
but love never came my way 
 
i'm writing a letter 
to someone unknown 
so if you should find it and if you're alone 
well, lonely, lonely blue boy is my name
