The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Lonesome Number One,just call me Lonesome Number One
Although no titles have I won,I surely must be Lonesome Number One
Every love I've had has faded like the dew
Every one I've wanted,has wanted someone new
Heartaches hang around and always come
I surely must be Lonesome Number One
Lonesome Number One,just call me Lonesome Number One
Although no titles have I won,I surely must be Lonesome Number One
It seems I'm always losing,love just can't come near
Just when love gets close it always disappears
Sorrow always keeps me on the run
I surely must be Lonesome Number One
Lonesome Number One, just call me Lonesome Number One
Although no titles have I won, I surely must be Lonesome Number One
Just call me Lonesome Number One,here I come I'm Lonesome Number One
