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
