lyrics

Lonesome, Lonesome
So lonesome I feel I'm gonna cry
Lonesome, Lonesome
So lonesome I think I'm gonna die

Well my name is Lou I'm a kind hearted fool
but I ain't the sharpest bulb in the shed
if you give me a chance its a hopeless romance
I can't keep from thinking about you

Mary Sou I'd a done anything for you
but now my true love has gone away
she took my dough went to Mexico
now she lays on the beaches all her days

Lonesome, Lonesome
So lonesome I feel I'm gonna cry
Lonesome, Lonesome
So lonesome I think I'm gonna die

WIllie Mae my one true lover
Willie Mae my one true friend
she gave me the bird
said my words they were slurred
was off on a bender again
and again

Betty Ann had locks of gold
pulling on them heart strings of men
I had my chance
couldn't keep it in my pants
now she's marrying my lawnmower man

Lonesome, Lonesome
So lonesome I feel I'm gonna cry
Lonesome, Lonesome
So lonesome I think I'm gonna die

I called up the pool boy today
the tubs looking due for a clean
all the sudden she's gone
what the hell have I done
my pool is now filthy green
