I don't want to get into trouble. Ripped from ''Tome of the Unknown'' the pilot episode for ''Over the Garden Wall'' . Yato's Over the Garden Wall playlist:

All I want is a full version of this song, sang by this guy, then, my life would be complete

[TheElectricDoll]

Why am I crying over a fruit man singing?

[mel-lxsb]

the lyrics from what i could hear :D

Can't you see I'm lonely?
Lonely as can be.
Oh I want you only,
there's no one else for me.

Oh, and you know it!

Sometimes, dear, I wonder:
Why you keep away.
Leavin' me so lonely,
lonely night and day!

[TheOddSusie]

:') oh my gosh I want to hold and cuddle that kitty so much it hurts me to see him cry X'D haha

C.W. Stoneking, as an Australian, makes music that sounds more American than 95% of country singers.

If you haven't already, I'd highly recommend listening to his album "Gon' Boogaloo" it's banger after banger cover to cover

I play the chords like this:

F D7
cant you see im lonely

G G7
lonely as can be
C C7
For i want you only
F C
theres no one else for me
C7
and you know it
F D7
sometimes dear i wonder
G G7
why you keep away
C C7
leaving me so lonely
C C7 F
lonley night and day

[MidnightBlue]

Interestingly, while Ada Jones did indeed sing this song, it seems to have originated in the 1905 Broadway musical adaptation of the Wizard of Oz.

I looked up CW Stoneking expecting to see a 60 year old black man from Louisiana. Turns out he's a 30-something white guy from Australia.

If anyone was wondering, the song is called “Can’t You See I’m Lonely”. It was published to music sheets in 1905.

pumpkins can't move on their own can they?

Sometimes when I rewatch over the garden wall it reminds me of the 50’s-90’s

[mr.nobody]

Years later I'm coming back to this song

There’s something about this song that reminds me of the ballads Burl Ives would sing.

[cammila]

Ada Jones "Can't You See I'm Lonely?"

[morodriguez]

Im alone because I love you - leadbelly

[GhostPlanetFilms]

It's too bad John Crops didn't make it into the show. It would've been AWSM if he was in the Tavern episode!

[hopefulbloom]

A longer version of this is here:

anyone wants to have the link to the spotify track here:

The original song was sung by Ada Jones:

i personally prefer vegetable man though cause it just hits different.

and the singer is called C.W. Stoneking

[jblangcua]

Can't you see I'm lonely?
Lonely as can be
For I want you only
There's no-one else for me
And you know it
Sometimes, dear, I wonder
Why you keep away
Leaving me so lonely
Lonely night and day
*sigh*

Hey, on Over the Garden Wall, chapter 3, when Greg is looking for old cats, isn't this crying cat quite similar to it?
