Just Call Me Lonesome

Dottie West · Country Girl [RCA Victor] [1968]

(Rex Griffin)



Why must I love a heartless one

Who'll never ever know all the harm he's done

Though love is blind I should have known

So call me lonesome from now on.



These walls will hide me when I cry

And I pray that heaven will let me die

For what good is life when love is gone

Just call me lonesome from now on.



I climb the stairs up to my room

But there's no one there to meet me just the gloom

The silence tells me that he's gone

Just call me lonesome from now on.



I pray my memories at last

Will fade into the distant past

If I must live and love alone

Then call me lonesome from now on...
