Lonesome For You

(альбом: The Carter Family Volume 1 - 1927-1934 - 2002)

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

'Cause 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
'Cause 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

'Cause 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
'Cause I'm lonesome, lonesome for you
