(Harlan Howard)
I'd rather be a fool and have people laugh at me
Than be like I am wise and lonely
Though you never played fair and at times you were cruel
I'm gettin' mighty lonely, I'd rather be a fool.
I don't care what they say cause I'm all right
As long as your arms just hold me tight
Everybody says I'm wise, I was so smart to leave you
But I'm gettin' mighty lonely, I'd rather be a fool.
Yes, I'm gettin' mighty lonely, I'd rather be a fool...
