Everybody's going out, having fun
I'm a fool for staying home, having none
I can't get over how I got set free
Oh, lonesome me

Must be some way I can lose these lonesome blues
Forget about my past and find someone new
I've thought of everything from A to Z
Oh, lonesome me, oh, lonesome me

Oh, and I bet she's not like me
She's out and fancy free
Dancing with the boys with all her charms

Oh, but I still love her so
Oh, and brother, don't you know
That I would welcome her
Right back here in these arms

Bad mistake I'm making by just hanging around
I know that I should have some fun and paint the town
A lovesick fool is blind and just can't see
Oh, lonesome me, oh, lonesome me
