Oh Lonesome Me - The Kentucky Headhunters

Everybody's going out and having fun I'm a fool for staying home and having none. I can't get over how she set me free. Oh, lonesome me. There must be some way that I can lose these lonesome blues Forget about my past and find someone new I've thought of everything from A to Z Oh, lonesome me. I'll bet she's not like me. She's out and fancy free, Flirting 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

Why must I love a heartless one Who never knows the harm she's done Though love is blind I should have known Just call me lonesome from now on I climb the stairs up to my room But no-one greets me in my gloom The silence tells me she is gone Just call me lonesome from now on These walls will hide me when I cry I hope that heaven lets me die What good is life when hope has gone Just call me lonesome from now on Just call me lonesome from now on

Everybody's lonesome for somebody else But nobody's lonesome for me Everybody's thinkin' 'bout somebody else But nobody thinks about me When the time rolls around for me to lay down and die I bet I'll have to go and hire me someone to cry Everybody's lonesome for somebody else Nobody is lonesome for me Everybody's longin' for somebody else But nobody's lonesome for me Everybody's dreamin' about somebody else But nobody dreams about me All I need is a bride who wants a big-hearted groom I wouldn't care if she come ridin' in on a broom Everybody's lonesome for somebody else Nobody lonesome for me Everybody's pinin' for somebody else But nobody's lonesome for me Everybody's crazy 'bout somebody else But nobody's crazy 'bout me Oh, I shined up my shoes, and then I slicked down my hair Put on my Sunday suit, but I ain't goin' nowhere Everybody's lonesome for somebody else But nobody's lonesome for me Everybody's yearnin' for somebody else But nobody's lonesome for me Everybody's fallin' for somebody else But nobody's fallin' for me Now I ain't had a kiss since I fell out of my crib It looks to me like I been cheated out of my rib Everybody's lonesome for somebody else Nobody lonesome for me

Blue moon of Kentucky, keep on shining Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue Blue moon of Kentucky, keep on shining Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue Well it was on one moonlight night When the stars were shining bright Whispers on high But love said goodbye Blue moon of Kentucky keep on shining Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue Ah, shine on

Jessico, don't ya know, your're the stars in our eyes You're the rhythm and the blues and the tears that we cry Jessico, don't ya know, that you've come as no suprise And you'll dance away with all the pretty girls tonight He was raised up right, straight from the dollar store He worked for every nickle and he know what they were for He dropped them in the jukebox as he danced across the floor Fire flew from his tap shoes as the crowd called out for more Yeehaw One day the lawmen came and they took away his shoes Locked him behind the big wall cause he wouldn't hear the news The times they are a changin' but Ol' Jesse never will Jessico and Elvis will always own the hills Jessico, don't ya know, that you've come as no suprise And you'll dance away with all the pretty girls tonight Yeehaw
