Oh, Lonsome Me
Neil Young · Other Songs - Neil Young
I'm a fool for staying home and having non-
I can't get over how she'd set me free
Oh, lonsome me.
There must be some way that i can loose these lonsome blues
forget about the past,
find some one new.
I thought of everythin' from A-Z
Oh, lonsome me.
I bet she's not like me,
she's out and fancy free,
flirting whit the boys, whit all her charms.
But i still love her so,
and brother don't you know?
I'd welcome her right back here in my arms.
There must be some way that i can loose these lonsome blues,
forget about my past, find some one new.
I can't get over how she'd set me free.
Oh, lonsome me.
