I’m just callin’ my folks from Mississippi Just to let ’em know that I’m still fine And mom and dad, while we were talkin’ I just thought I’d let you know what’s on my mind
My financial problems are still with me And the way that I live is nothing new So, mom and dad, please don’t you worry It’s just one of those old things we all go through
And yes, I’ve been lonely Oh and yes, I’m feelin’ blue And yes, I’ve lost the one that I loved But it’s just one of those old things we all go through
Just to hear your voice makes me feel better And I know you’ll remember me in prayer Heaven knows I’m trying to forget her It’s just another cross I’ll have to bear
And yes, I’ve been lonely Oh and yes, I’m feelin’ blue, so blue And yes, I’ve lost the one that I loved But it’s just one of those old things we all go through It’s just one of those old things we all go through
