Lonesome Blues
Lonesome world,
when all your friends got put you down.
Lonesome world,
all your friends got put you down.
The one that you love,
when you need help they can't be found.
Lonesome world,
tryin' just to walk alone.
So lonesome, tryin' to walk alone.
The one that you've trusted,
did a lie to you and went gone.
I got the blues, I got the blues, I got it so bad.
When you're walking all alone, baby,
the worst thing you ever had.
Well, if you're all alone,
oh, the one you trusted is gone.
I'm leaving you, baby,
oh, I got to make my give-away.
Leaving baby, wanna make my give-away.
Well, it's all for business now, baby,
tell you, I ain't got no time to play.
World, so sad being alone.
Oh, lonesome world, so sad living alone.
Well, if you got to live all by yourself,
just by well you'll love alone.
Lonesome world.
So sad.
You got to be alone.
But sometime it's better that way.
Because:
finding a friend that's really a real friend.
Well, if you got to be by yourself,
better if you love alone.
