either someone needing mercy
A E
might be somethin’ i’ve done wrong .

well , your friends come by for you
i don’t know what to say
well , your friends come by for you
i don’t know what to say
i just can’t face to tell ’em
honey you just went away .

the children cry for mother
i tell ’em , “mother took a trip . ’’
well , the children cry for mother
i tell ’em , “mother took a trip . ’’
well , i walk on pins and needles
i hope my tongue don’t slip .

well , i gaze at passing strangers
in case i might see you
yes , i gaze at passing strangers
in case i might see you
but the sun goes around the heavens
and another day just drives on through .

way out in the distance
i know you’re with some other man
way out in the distance
i know you’re with some other man
but that’s all right , baby
you know i always understand .

call girls in the doorway
all givin’ me the eye
call girls in the doorway
all givin’ me the eye
but my heart’s just not in it
i might as well pass right on by .

my ears are ringin’
ringin’ like empty shells
my ears are ringin’
ringin’ like empty shells
well , it can’t be no guitar player
it must be combat bells .
