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...
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.

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...
