Everybody's a going out and having fun

I'm just a fool for staying home and having none

I can't get over how she set set me free oh lonesome me

A bad mistake I'm making by just hanging round

I know that I should have some fun and paint the town

A lovesick fool is blind and just can't see oh lonesome me

Well I'll bet she's not like me she's out and fancy free

Flirtin' 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

Well there must be some way I can lose these lonesome blues

Forget about the past and find me somebody new

I've thought of everything from A to Z oh lonesome me

[ banjo ]

Well I'll bet she's not like me...

Oh lonesome me oh lonesome me oh lonesome me
