Mr Lonesome, go cheer up somebody else
Mr Lonesome, go cheer up somebody else
Ain't got nobody, but I can do it better by myself

I been here at home watching TV to half-past-three,
Wonderin' why my baby don't care about me
Mr Lonesome, you been pretty lousy company

Mr Lonesome, go cheer up somebody else
Hey, Mr Lonesome, go cheer up somebody else
Ain't got nobody, but I can do it better by myself

Instrumental break

Mr Lonesome, well I got a new attitude
And I'm tradin' in these worn out workin' shoes,
An' I'm goin' down town in my alligator cowboy boots

Hey, Mr Lonesome, go cheer up somebody else
Mr Lonesome, go cheer up somebody else
Ain't got nobody, but I can do it better by myself

Ain't got nobody, but I can do it better by myself
