I Know What It Means to Be Lonesome

(James Brockman - James Kendis - Nat Vincent)



Well, I know what it means to be lonesome

And I know what it means to be blue

Oh, I know what it means to be lonesome and dream

When nobody misses you.



Well, my sweet baby left me this morning

When the clock was just striking four

And the sweet smiling face of my darling

I may never see anymore.

Well, I hate the night that we parted

For nobody knows what I've been through

Well, I'd give all I own just to have you back home

'Cause I'm lonesome, lonesome dear for you.



Well, I know what it means to be lonesome

And I know what it means to be blue

Oh, I know what it means to be lonesome and dream

When nobody misses you...
