I Know What It Mean To Be Lonesome

Well, I know what it means to be lonesome
        And I know what it means to be blue
        Well, I know what it means to be lonesome in dreams
        When there is someone there with you

Well my baby left me this morning
As the clock was striking four
The sweet smiling face of my darling
I may never see any more

* Refrain

Well I've cried and I've cried since we parted
No one knows what I've been though
You know I'd give all I own just to have you back home
I'm lonesome, lonesome for you

* Refrain
