Lonesome Out Tonight

Ferlin Husky · Just for You [Capitol] [1968]

(Jimmy Peppers)



Oh, it's lonesome out tonight



Here I stand on the lonely street

Nobody cares about poor old me

Oh, it's lonesome out tonight.



This old town's not good for me

It holds too many memories

Oh, it's lonesome out tonight.



She told me that my time would come

For hurting her each day

My loneliness started last night

And it looks like it's here to stay.



My conscience just won't let me sleep

So I'm out here just a walking the streets

Oh, it's lonesome out tonight.



--- Instrumental ---



Maybe I should catch

That midnight train

But where could I go

It's all the same.



Oh, it's lonesome out tonight

Ever since she set me free

I've been filled with misery

Oh, it's lonesome out tonight.



She told me that my time would come

For hurting her each day

My loneliness started last night

And it looks like it's here to stay.



My conscience just won't let me sleep

So I'm out here just a walking the streets

Oh, it's lonesome out tonight.



Oh, so lonesome out tonight...
