Written by Don Gibson Recorded by Hank Snow Well everybody's goin' out and havin' fun I'm just a fool for staying home and havin' 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 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 Well there must be some way I can lose these lonesome blues Forget about the past and find somebody new I've thought of everything from A to Z oh lonesome me I'll bet she's not like me... Oh lonesome me oh lonesome me
