[Verse 1] You say you’re feeling blue, You don’t know what to do, And as each day goes by, It seems the same to you, Then picture in your mind, Someone you left behind, A simple country cottage, And in there you will find.
[Chorus] There’s someone more lonesome than you, Someone with true eyes of blue, Day by day she wanders through the wildwood, Dreaming of the love that once she knew, She’s waiting and sighing in vain For you promised you’d be true, While you’re living in the bright lights with the merry and the gay, There’s a loving heart you’ve broken just to pass the time away, And she is more lonesome, more lonesome than you.
[Verse 2] You say the world in wrong, The brook still sing it’s songs, The meadow grass is green, Go back where you belong, And make her poor heart glad, She wants you mighty bad, Just think how long she’s waiting, And if you’re feeling sad.
[Chorus]
Poem: (recited during the second chorus)
LONESOME, one little word but oh what it means A word that portrays a thousand sad scenes, Picture, a dog and his master, whom no one could save, As he sits there and whines o\u27er his master\u27s grave. Though he kicked him and beat him when it comes time to part, Even a dog dies of a broken heart. ·
Picture some old mother all wrinkled and gray. Her son\u27s at the front fighting day by day; Her poor heart grows weary, she\u27s soon laid to rest And God only know, it was from lonesomeness.
Take a lad who is lonely, in, some lonesome town. He does a great wrong, two old heads are bowed down, A year or two passes, and the prodigal son Returns, is forgiven, when all\u27s said and done.
But put the poor girl in the lonesome lad\u27s place, The wrong\u27s not her fault still her name\u27s in disgrace, Does someone forgive the prodigal girl? No, they drag her down lower to the gut of the world.
Then they all wonder why she is walking along, Selling her soul for the price of a song- So think of the girl when you\u27re lonesome and blue- For she is more lonesome, more lonesome than you
