Well, everybody's going out and having fun
I'm just a fool for staying home and having none
I can't get over how she set set me free
Oh, lonesome me,

A bad mistake I'm making by just hanging round
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

Well, I'll bet she's not like me, she's out and fancy free
She's flirtin' with the boys and all her charms
But brother don't you know that I still love her so
And I'd welcome her right back here in my arms

There must be some way I can lose these lonesome blues
Forget about the past and find me somebody new
Well, I've thought of everything from A to Z
Oh, lonesome me

Well, I'll bet she's not like me, she's out and fancy free
She's flirtin' with the boys and all her charms
But brother don't you know that I still love her so
And I'd welcome her right back here in my arms

There must be some way I can los, e these lonesome blues
Forget about the past and find me somebody new
Well, I've thought of everything from A to Z
Oh, lonesome me

Oh, lonesome me, oh, lonesome me, oh, lonesome me
