This Lonely Dark Room

They all left me, my friends, they did,

Left me in this dark room;

To wallow in my pity, and drown my

sorrows by candlelight;

In this dark room.

I hear a creak in the floorboards which

only serves to remind me of what I

already know.

I'm alone in this dark room!

My friends, they walk without me

Leaving me alone in this murky,

musty, old, dark room.

I hear every scuttle of mice

underneath the floorboards;

And the spiders!

Oh! they make me shiver,

as across the floorboards,

they dare scutter,

In this dirty, old, dark room.

How dare they? my friends!

Leave me in this;

Murky, musty, old, dark room!
