[1st verse:]
|
Jonesy with a frown was telling Mister Brown
|
"Old pal, I'm just as sick as I can be
|
Most ev'rything I've done, the doctors ev'ry one
|
In vain have tried to find a cure for me
|
They doctor me until I almost faint
|
They help'd me not for this is my complaint
|
|
[1st refrain:]
|
One o'clock in the morning I get lonesome
|
One o'clock in the morning I get blue
|
But my wife and family won't stay up with me
|
So I've got to leave the house and hunt for company
|
Going in and out the diff'rent places
|
Places where they've thrown away the key
|
I just hunt until I'm wild
|
For a woman, man or child
|
Who is troubled with the same complaint as me
|
|
[2nd verse:]
|
Many doctors thought an operation ought
|
To be the very thing without a doubt
|
They ether'd him, the fools, then went to get their tools
|
Came back at one to cut his lonesome out
|
They found a dozen nurses by his side
|
They ask'd him to explain and he replied
|
|
[2nd refrain:]
|
One o'clock in the morning I get lonesome
|
One o'clock in the morning I get blue
|
All the ether 'neath the sun, ether by the ton
|
Couldn't keep me sleeping when the clock is striking one
|
So you'll have to wait until tomorrow
|
Soon I'll be as busy as a bee
|
For I've got an awful hunch
|
There's a nurse among the bunch
|
Who is troubled with the same complaint as me
|
