Lonesome is I
I wished I could die
Nobody cares for me
Lonesome is I
I wished I could die
Nobody cares for me

It was one bright moonlight night the moon shining bright
When you and I made love
Was it not true   I'll say to you
I moaned like a turtledove

Oh my darling oh my dear
You know you treat me mean
Oh my darling oh
You know you treat

Lonesome is I
I wished I could die
Nobody cares for me
Lonesome is I
I wished I could die
Nobody cares for me

Oh my darling oh my dear
You know you treat me mean

Down in the jail
Where the birdies
Couldn't hear nothing but the birdies sing
Oh yeah
Couldn't hear nothing but the birdies sing

Lonesome is I
I wished I could die
Nobody cares for me
Lonesome is I
I wished I could die
Nobody cares for me
