I Know What It Means to Be Lonesome

Oh, I know what it means to be lonesome

And I know what it means to be blue

And I know what it means to be lonesome in dreams

When there is no one there but you

Oh, my baby left me this morning

As the clock was striking four

And the sweet smiling face of my darling

Told me I'd see her no more

I cried, I cried til my heart ached

Heaven knows what I've gone through

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

I'm lonesome, lonesome for you

Oh, I know what it means to be lonesome

I know what it means to be blue

I know what it means to be lonesome in dreams

When there is no one there but you
