Play Me a Sad Song
Melancholy Harmony: Exploring the Depths of Heartache in David Allan Coe's Ballad
Lyrics
Play me a sad song
Expresses the desire for a melancholic song to be played.
Tell me your woman's gone
Asks to be told about the absence of the person's significant other.
You know how misery loves company
Reflects on the shared experience of finding solace in misery with others.
Sing it just one more time
Requests the sad song to be sung once more.
Before I lose my mind
Expresses a sense of urgency before the speaker loses their composure.
Tell me how misery loves company
Reiterates the theme of finding comfort in shared sorrow.
Loneliness surrounds me
Describes the pervasive feeling of being alone.
Emptiness you found me
Acknowledges the emptiness that has engulfed the speaker.
I don't think I can go on
Expresses doubt about the ability to continue in the current emotional state.
Sing me a drinking song
Requests a song related to drinking and heartbreak.
Tell me you done her wrong
Asks to be told about the wrongs committed in the relationship.
You know how misery loves company
Reiterates the idea of finding solace in shared misery.
I'll put in my last dime
Expresses a willingness to spend the last bit of money to hear the sad song again.
To hear it one more time
Emphasizes the urgency to hear the song once more.
Willie sing Misery Loves Company
Refers to Willie singing "Misery Loves Company" as a specific song choice.
Loneliness surrounds me
Repeats the sense of loneliness surrounding the speaker.
Emptiness you found me
Reiterates the emptiness that has been discovered.
I don't think I can go on
Expresses doubt about the ability to continue in the current emotional state.
I don't think I can go on
Repeats the doubt about the ability to carry on.
I don't think I can go on
