| 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’s someone missing you
|
| Because I’ve tried and I’ve tried since we’ve parted
|
| There is no one knows what I’ve gone through
|
| I’d give all that I own just to have you back home
|
| Because 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 love 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
|
| Won’t you please come back again |
