Lyrics:
Crystal was a waitress at the Night Owl LoungePretty as a picture was sheSammy was her drinkin' buddyBought a round for the pleasure of her companyCrystal had weakness for the silent typeAnd Sammy stole her heart awayBut three weeks later she was gone from sightAnd poor Sammy had a lot to sayOh boyHe saidAll I wanted was to hold her tightBut all she gave me was a heap of heartachesAnd a whole lot of lonely nightsAll I wanted was her to do me rightBut she done me wrong and left me hanging onTo a whole lot of lonely nightsIt ain't rightEverybody noticed when the change set inIt was just a few things at firstSammy started cussin' and he shunned his friendsAnd then it went from bad to worseOne night he broke a window down at Hi-Fi _____Stole himself a stereo setHis bail paying momma asked him why son whyHe said you ain't seen nothin yetOh MammaAll I wanted was to hold her tightBut all she gave me was a heap of heartachesAnd a whole lot of lonely nightsAll I wanted was her to do me rightBut she done me wrong and left me hanging onTo a whole lot of lonely nightsIt ain't rightLast they heard from Sammy he'd jumped his bailHe was somewhere in the great southwestFlippin burgers for minimum scaleAnd going by an alias.Every now and then at the Night Owl LoungeCrystal hears the telephone ringShe picks it up and then she slams it downIt's long distance from the Burger KingPoor thingHe saidAll I wanted was to hold you tightBut all you gave me was a heap of heartachesAnd a whole lot of lonely nightsAll I wanted was you to do me rightBut you done me wrong and left me hanging onTo a whole lot of lonely nightsBut you done me wrong and left me hanging on to a wholelot of lonely nightsa whole lot of lonely nightsI saida whole lot of lonely nightsit ain't right
