Well I know what it means to be lonesome
And I know what it means to be blue
Oh I know what it means to be lonesome and dream
When nobody misses you
Well my sweet baby left me this morning
When the clock was just striking four
And the sweet smiling face of my darling
I may never see anymore
[ guitar ]
Well I hate the night that we parted
For nobody knows what I've been through
Well I'd give all I own just to have you back home
Cause I'm lonesome lonesome dear dor you
Well I know what it means to be lonesome
