Oh, I know what it means to be lonesome

I know what it means to be blue

And I know what it means to be lonesome in dreams

When there is someone there with you.



Oh, my baby left me this morning

And the clock was striking four

The sweet smiling face of my darling

That I may never see no more.



Oh, I know what it means to be lonesome

I know what it means to be blue

And I know what it means to be lonesome in dreams

When there is someone there with you.

Lord, I've cried and I've cried since we parted

No one knows what I've been through

But I'd give all I own just to have you back home

I'm lonesome lonesome dear for you.



Oh, I know what it means to be lonesome

I know what it means to be blue

And I know what it means to be lonesome in dreams

When there is someone there with you.



--- Instrumental ---



Oh, I know what it means to be lonesome

I know what it means to be blue

And I know what it means to be lonesome in dreams

When there is someone there with you...
