Oh I know what it means to be lonesome
I know what it means to be blue
And I know what it means to be lonesome in dreams
When there is someone there with you
Oh my baby left me this morning
And the clock was striking four
The sweet smiling face of my darling
That I may never see no more
Oh I know what it means to be lonesome...
[ banjo ]
Lord I've cried and I've cried since we parted
No one knows what I've been through
But I'd give all I own just to have you back home
I'm lonesome lonesome dear for you
Oh I know what it means to be lonesome...
[ mandolin ]
Oh I know what it means to be lonesome...
