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 [ guitar ] 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 dor you Well I know what it means to be lonesome....
