Just Call Me Lonesome

Jean Shepard · The Melody Ranch Girl [Bear Family (Germany)] [1996]

(Rex Griffin)



Why must I love the heartless one

Who'll never know the harm he's done

Though love is blind I should have known

Just call me lonesome from now on.



I climb the stairs up to my room

But no one meets me in the gloom

The silence tells me he is gone

Just call me lonesome from now on.



--- Instrumental ---



These walls will hide me when I cry

And hope that heaven lets me die

What good is life when hope is 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

Just call me lonesome from now on...
