Now I know what it means to be lonesome
And I know what it means to be blue
And I know what it means to be lonesome in dreams
When there' someone missing you
Cause I've cried and I've cried since we parted
There's no one knows what I've gone through
I'd give all that I own just to have you back home
Cause I'm lonesome lonesome for you
My best friend left me this morning
As the clock was striking four
And the smiling face of my darling
I may not see no more
Now I know what it means to be worried
To be all lonesome and blue
For the one that I loved so dearly
Has turned her back on me
Oh my mind is full of sorrow
And my heart is filled with pain
And I feel so broken hearted
Wont you please come back again
Cause I've cried and I've cried since we parted
There's no one knows what I've gone through
I'd give all that I own just to have you back home
Cause I'm lonesome lonesome for you
