I'm lonesome for a letter, seems so long ago,
since you told me, baby, that you love me so.
I'm so lonesome, so lonesome I could cry-y-y-y.y.
So lone, lone, lonely, I could lay right down and die-y-y-y-y.
I'm waiting every morning, praying every night.
Always thinking of you, baby, hoping you'll do right.
I'm so lonesome, so lonesome I could cry-y-y-y-y.
So lone, lone, lonely, could lay right down and die-y-y-y-y.
Can't help feeling lonely, or a little blue
sitting here so lonesome, for a letter from you.
I'm so lonesome, so lonesome I could cry-y-y-y.
I'm so lone, lone, lonely, could lay right down and die-y-y-y-y.
Lonesome for a letter, baby lonesome for a letter lonesome for a letter.
