[Verse 1]
Now 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's someone missing you

[Chorus]
Because I've tried and I've tried since we've parted
There is no one knows what I've gone through
I'd give all that I own just to have you back home
Because I'm lonesome, lonesome for you

[Verse 2]
My best friend left me this morning
As the clock was striking four
And the smiling face of my darling
I may not see no more
Now I know what it means to be worried
To be all lonesome and blue
For the one that I love so dearly
Has turned her back on me
Oh, my mind is full of sorrow
And my heart is filled with pain
And I feel so broken-hearted
Won't you please come back again
[Chorus]
