The original version of Oh, Lonesome Me was written and recorded by Don Gibson, with Chet Atkins, in 1958. George Jones plays it pretty straight on his 1961 version: fast paced and honky-tonk, to counteract the sad lyrics. The most famous covers of this song belong to Johnny Cash (1961), Neil Youn...
Everybody is going out and having fun
I'm just a fool for staying home and having none
I can't get over how she set set me free
Oh, lonesome me
A bad mistake I'm making by just hanging round
I know that I should have some fun and paint the town
A lovesick fool that's blind and just can't see
Oh, lonesome me
Well, I'll bet she's not like me, she's out and fancy free
A flirtin' with the boys with all of her charms
Yeah, but I still love her so and brother don't you know
I'd welcome her right back here in my arms
Well, there must be some way I can lose these lonesome blues
Forget about the past and find me somebody new
I've thought of everything from A to Z
Oh, lonesome me

Yeah, but I still love her so and brother don't you know
I'd welcome her right back here, in my arms
Well, there must be some way I can lose these lonesome blues
Forget about the past and find me somebody new
I've thought of everything from A to Z
Oh, lonesome me
Oh, lonesome me
Oh, lonesome me
Oh, lonesome me...
Oh, Lonesome Me was written by Don Gibson.
