OH, LONESOME ME
Written by Don Gibson
As sung by Don Gibson, 1958

1. Ev'rybody's goin' out an' havin' fun.
I'm just a fool for stayin' home an' havin' none.
I can't get over how she set me free.
Oh, lonesome me!

2. A bad mistake I'm makin' by just hangin' 'round.
I know that I should have some fun an' paint the town.
A lovesick fool that's blind an' just can't see,
Oh, lonesome me!

BRIDGE: I'll bet she's not like me,
She's out and fancy-free,
Flirtin' with the boys with all her charms,
But I still love her so,
And, brother, don't you know,
I'd welcome her right back here in my arms.

3. Well, there must be some way I can lose these lonesome blues,
Forget about the past and find somebody new.
I've thought of ev'rything from A to Z.
Oh, lonesome me!

REPEAT BRIDGE AND VERSE 3.
Oh, lonesome me!
