Goodbye Lonesome, Hello Baby Doll

by Johnny Horton

on The Singing Fisherman - Complete Recordings (2014), The Essential Johnny Horton (2013)

I've been here for a long long time waitin' all alone
Waitin' here in this old house by the telephone
Sittin' in this same old chair lookin' out to blind
There ain't been a day gone by that she ain't on my mind

Goodbye lonesome, hello baby doll
Goodbye lonesome you almost drove me wild
Well, I feel the electricity on the line
She's done told me she's mine, oh mine
Goodbye lonesome, hello baby doll

When she is here I'm tellin' you we're gonna celebrate
And all those hugs and kisses you couldn't calculate
When she holds me I can't explain the way I feel inside
Goodbye you old lonesome, I got myself a bride

Goodbye lonesome, hello baby doll
Goodbye lonesome you almost drove me wild
But I feel the electricity on the line
She's done told me she's mine, oh mine
Goodbye lonesome, hello baby doll
