G               G
Of all the saddest words
     C           C
That I have ever heard
    D              D
The saddest is the story
D            G
Told me by a bird.
       G              G
He had spent about an hour
C               C
Chatting with a flower,
    D                   D      G
And here's the tale the flower told:

[Chorus]
      G               G           C
I'm a lonely little petunia in an onion patch,
   D               G
An onion patch, an onion patch.
      G             G             C
I'm a lonely little petunia in an onion patch,
    D           D       G
And all I do is cry all day.
    C        G
Boo hoo! Boo hoo!
    C         C          G                D
The air is so strong, it takes my breath away.
      G               G           C
I'm a lonely little petunia in an onion patch,
   D                            G
Oh won't you come and play with me?

[Verse]
   G              G
He put me in this bed,
     C               C
I'll bet his face is red.
  D                  D
I call him down with every
G               G
Teardrop that I shed.
     G            G
If I only had him here,
    C               C
I'd take him by the ear
    D                 D      G
And make him share my misery.

[Chorus]
      G               G           C
I'm a lonely little petunia in an onion patch,
   D               G
An onion patch, an onion patch.
      G             G             C
I'm a lonely little petunia in an onion patch,
    D           D       G
And all I do is cry all day.
    C        G
Boo hoo! Boo hoo!
    C         C          G                D
The air is so strong, it takes my breath away. (sigh)
      G               G           C
I'm a lonely little petunia in an onion patch,
   D                            G
Oh won't you come and play with me?
