[1st verse:]
|
I feel blue, lonesome too
|
Just because I'm all alone
|
I confess lonesomeness
|
Seems to be the only friend I own
|
No one cares to hear my woes
|
Friendless like a faded rose
|
I'm unhappy, goodness knows
|
When I'm all alone
|
|
[Refrain:]
|
When I'm alone
|
I'm lonesome
|
When I'm alone
|
I'm blue
|
Someone kindly listen to my sympathy plea
|
Ev'ry other girl and brother
|
Has a pal just like a mother
|
Whom they can tell their troubles
|
Whom they can call their own
|
Won't somebody kindly hear me
|
Linger near me, come and cheer me
|
I'm lonesome when alone
|
|
[2nd verse:]
|
One O, O, now you know
|
That's the number of my phone
|
Five, six, eight on the gate
|
Now you know the number of my home
|
Father tries to make me glad
|
When he thinks I'm feeling sad
|
But there's things you can't tell Dad
|
When you're all alone
|
