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

A bad mistake I'm making
By just hanging around
I know that I should have some fun
And paint the town
A lovesick fool that's blind
And just can't see
Oh, lonesome me

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

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

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

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