I know what it means to be lonesome
And I know what it means to be blue
I know what it means to be lonesome in dreams
When there is no one at home for 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
I know what it means to be lonesome
And I know what it means to be blue
I know what it means to be lonesome in dreams
When there is no one at home for you
Well I've cried and I've cried since we parted
No one knows what I have been through
I'd give all I own just to have you back home
I'm lonesome, lonesome for you
I know what it means to be lonesome
And I know what it means to be blue
I know what it means to be lonesome in dreams
When there is no one at home for you
