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 . . .
