Oh, the moon lights so bright makes me lonely tonight
Everything seems to make me feel blue here
I'm down hearted now I'm lonesome
Somehow cause you are proving untrue
Why should I be so lonely why should I be so sad
Though another is taking from me the best pal that I've ever had
She's taking the sunshine with her leaving the clouds for me

But why should I be so lonesome
When there's nobody lonesome for me

Oh, the violets so blue are calling for roses
So sweet make me lonely
They bring to my mind a sweet happy time
When your love was only for me

But why should I be so lonesome
When there's nobody lonesome for me
