Part 1:

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 me free,
Oh, Lonesome Me.
There must be someway that 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.

 

Part 2:

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 someway I can lose these lonseome blues,
Forget about my past and find someone knew.
I can't get over how she set me free,
Oh, Lonesome Me.
