Oh Lonesome Me

by Homer & Jethro

on Life Can Be Miserable (1958)

I bought my wife a new sack dress the other day
And now I wish she'd throw the dad-burn thing away
I know she's in there, but where can she be?
Oh, lonesome me

She says it's the latest style from gay Paree
Like a pig within a poke, it seems to be
Maybe she means Paris, Tennessee
Oh, lonesome me

When she wears a sheath
I know she's underneath
Lookin' at her fills my heart with joy
And in her bathin' suit
Brother she's a beaut
She makes Jayne Mansfield look like a boy

Maybe it's a 'tater sack from Pappy's store
But buttons on a sack I've never seen before
The old gray mare ain't what she used to be
Whoa, lonesome me

She was cuter than a polky-dotted pup
But now she wears a belt to hold her girdle up
I've called her ever'thing from A to Z
Oh, lonesome me
Oh, lonesome me
