A
letra:
Everybody's
going out and having fun
I'm a fool for staying home and having none
I can't get over how she set me free
Oh, oh, lonesome me
I'm a fool for staying home and having none
I can't get over how she set me free
Oh, oh, lonesome me
There must be some way
that I can lose these lonesome blues
Forget about the past and find someone new
I've thought of everything from A to Z
Oh, oh, lonesome me
Forget about the past and find someone new
I've thought of everything from A to Z
Oh, 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
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
There must be some way
that I can lose these lonesome blues
Forget about my past and find someone new
I can't get over how she set me free
Oh, oh, lonesome me
Forget about my past and find someone new
I can't get over how she set me free
Oh, oh, lonesome me
