şarkı, neil diamond'a ait olsa da, en iyi yorumlayan -bence tabi ki, johnny cash.
sözlerini de verelim tam olsun.

melinda was mine
'til the time
that i found her
holding jim
loving him
then sue came along
loved me strong
that's what i thought
me and sue
but that died too

don't know that i will
but until i can find me
the girl who'll stay
and won't play games behind me
i'll be what i am
a solitary man
solitary man

i've had it to here
bein' where
love's a small word
part-time thing
paper ring

i know it's been done
havin' one
girl who'll love me
right or wrong
weak or strong

don't know that i will
but until i can find me
the girl who'll stay
and won't play games behind me
i'll be what i am
a solitary man
solitary man
