Everybody's going out and having fun
   I'm a fool for staying home and having none.
   I can't get over how she set me free.
   Oh, lonesome me.
  
   There must be some way that I can lose these lonesome blues
   Forget about my past and find someone new
   I've thought of everything from A to Z
   Oh, lonesome me.
  
   I'll bet she's not like me.
   She's out and fancy free,
   Flirting 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
