I'm just callin' my folks in Louisiana
Let 'em know their old boy, he's doing fine
Hello, mama, hey, daddy, I sure do miss you
It's just one of them old things we all go through

Oh yes, I'm feeling mighty lonely
Can't remember when I've been so down, so blue
By the way, I just lost the one girl that I love
It's just one of them old things we all go through

Just to hear your voice makes me feel so much better
By the way, mama, please remember me in prayer
Heaven knows I'm trying to forget her
It's just one of them old things we all go through

Oh Lord, I'm feeling mighty lonely
Can't remember when I've ever been so blue
By the way, I just lost the one girl that I love
It's just one of them old things
It's just one of them old things
It's just one of them old things we all go through
