Lonesome Dove Lyrics

I'll be a lonesome dove
If you don't come home this Christmas
I'll be a lonesome dove
If you don't fly home this year

Sit here on my porch and pray that
I'll see headlights through the snow
If this doesn't happen, I will
Have to find somebody else to hold

I'll be a lonesome dove
If you don't come home this Christmas
And I'll be a lonesome dove
If you don't fly home to me this year

Slow dance in the pale moonlight
I wish that you were here
If this doesn't go my way
I'll lasso a cowboy to bring me some chip

I'll be a lonesome dove
If you don't come home this Christmas
Don't make me a lonesome dove
My heart just won't take it, baby, this year
Don't make me a lonesome dove
But don't need one more lonesome dove this year
