I’m a Lonely Little Petunia (in an Onion Patch)
Dick ‘Two Ton’ Baker

(Verse 1)
Of all the saddest words that I have ever heard
The saddest is the story told me by a bird
He had spent about an hour
A chatting with a flower
And here's the tale the flower told

(Chorus)
Oh, I’m a lonely little petunia in an onion patch
An onion patch
An onion patch
I'm a lonely little petunia in an onion patch
And all I do is cry all day
Boo hoo, boo hoo
The air's so strong it takes my breath away
I’m a lonely little petunia in an onion patch
Won't you come and play with me?

(Verse 2)
Who put me in this bed? I'll bet his face is red
I call him down with еvery teardrop that I shed
If I only had him hеre
I'd take him by the ear
And make him share my misery

(Chorus)
Oh, I'm a lonely little petunia in an onion patch
An onion patch
An onion patch
I'm a lonely little petunia in an onion patch
And all I do is cry all day
Boo hoo, boo hoo
The air's so strong it takes my breath away
I'm a lonely little petunia in an onion patch
Won’t you come and play with me?
You might also like

(Verse 3)
My nerves begin to crack each time I see a crack
Made by a kitty with a stripe right on his back
If he’d ever stop by me
I think I'd rather be
A dead petunia, wouldn’t you?

(Chorus)
Oh, I'm a lonely little petunia in an onion patch
An onion patch
An onion patch
I'm a lonely little petunia in an onion patch
And all I do is cry all day
Boo hoo, boo hoo
The air's so strong it takes my breath away
I’m a lonely little petunia in an onion patch
Won't you come and play with me?
