Thread Name: Lyr Req You Don't Know What Lonesome Is
Subject: RE: Lyr Req You Don't Know What Lonesome Is
can't vouch for the lyrics i FOUND online...
....still looking for a copy
i have it by Australian Sundowners...but havent dug it out yet..
pretty sure i have Gene Autry's version somewhere...
will keep looking for it...or any other version...


Do me Ah Ma doo, Do me Ah Ma day!
All alone . . . all alone!
When the hoot owl toots his [tooloo]
to the whale of the [nip wick hen],
and the [chink funk] chirps in the chilly night,
it's mighty lonesome then . . .

And it's mighty lonesome when the wind,
howls thru the jack-pine boughs
but you don't kno' what lonesome is,
'till you get to herdin' cows . . .
