Lonesome for My Baby

by Ernie Chaffin

on Feelin' Low / Lonesome for My Baby (1957), Sun Records - 60 Years, 60 Singles Box Set (2012)

Pretty girls all around
But I'm the saddest guy in town
Because I'm lonesome for my baby

Lots of things to see and do
I sit around a-feelin' blue
Because I'm lonesome for my baby

Wonderin' if those tears in her eyes
Meant she wasn't happy when we said our last goodbyes

Lots of friends that I could call
It wouldn't suit me none at all
Because I'm lonesome just for my baby

Close my eyes, I can see
The only one that's meant for me
Because I'm lonesome for my baby

She's the one I'll always miss
I never will get used to this
Because I'm lonesome for my baby

Wonderin' if those tears in her eyes
Meant she wasn't happy when we said our last goodbyes

Lots of friends that I could call
They wouldn't suit me none at all
Because I'm lonesome just for my baby
