So Doggone Lonesome

October 11, 1957

Lyrics

I do my best to hide this lowdown feelin’
I try to make believe there’s nothing wrong
But they’re always asking me about you darling
And it hurts me so to tell ’em that you’re gone
If they ask me I guess I’d be denyin’
That I’ve been unhappy all alone
But if they heard my heart they’d hear it cryin’
Where’s my darling, when’s she coming home

I ask myself a million times what’s right for me to do
To try to lose my blues alone or hang around for you
But I make it pretty good until that moon comes shining through
And then I get so doggone lonesome

Time stands still when you’re a waitin’
Sometimes I think my heart is stoppin’ too
One lonely hour seems forever
Sixty minutes more to wait for you
But I guess I’ll keep waitin’ ’til you’re with me
‘Cause I believe that loving you is right
But I don’t care if the sun don’t rise tomorrow
If I can’t have you with me tonight

Well I know I’ll keep on loving you
‘Cause true love can’t be killed
I ought to get you off of my mind
But I guess I never will
I could have a dozen others
But I know I’d love you still
‘Cause I get so doggone lonesome
