Linda With The Lonely Eyes

John D. Loudermilk


I got a funny feelin' this mornin' 
On my paper route 
'Cause all the curtains and blinds were missing 
From my Linda's house 
And in the screen I found a note 
Written in Linda's lonely way 
Sayin', "Goodbye darlin', stop the paper 
We've moved away" 

Oh, oh, oh, goodbye, you strange little girl 
Oh, goodbye, it's a strange, strange world 
Oh, goodbye, my Linda with the lonely eyes 
Oh, oh, oh, goodbye, I don't know why 
Oh, goodbye, why you should cry 
Oh, goodbye, Linda with the lonely eyes 

Now, as soon as Linda and her folks moved into town 
We became sweethearts 
Although she warned me many a time 
Someday we would have to part 
She said her daddy was some kind of secret 
Agent with the F.B.I. 
But I didn't understand 'til now 
Why Linda had those lonely eyes 

Oh, oh, oh, goodbye, you strange little girl 
Oh, goodbye, it's a strange, strange world 
Oh, goodbye, Linda with the lonely eyes 
Oh, oh, oh, goodbye, now I know why 
Oh, goodbye, you always cried 
Oh, goodbye, Linda with the lonely eyes
