Lonesome For You - Carter Family

Now I know what it means to be lonesome

And I know what it means to be blue

And I know what it means to be lonesome in dreams

When there’s someone missing you

Because I’ve tried and I’ve tried since we’ve parted

There is no one knows what I’ve gone through

I’d give all that I own just to have you back home

Because I’m lonesome, lonesome for you

My best friend left me this morning

As the clock was striking four

And the smiling face of my darling

I may not see no more

Now I know what it means to be worried

To be all lonesome and blue

For the one that I love so dearly

Has turned her back on me

Oh, my mind is full of sorrow

And my heart is filled with pain

And I feel so broken-hearted

Won’t you please come back again
