Merle Haggard - Why Should I Be Lonely lyrics

rate me

(Jimmie Rodgers - Estelle Lowell)

Oh, the moon lights so bright makes me lonely tonight

Everything seems to make me feel blue here

I'm down hearted now I'm lonesome somehow

'Cause you are proving untrue.

But why should I be so lonely

Why should I be so sad

Though another is taking from me

The best pal that I ever had.

She's taking the sunshine with her

And leaving the clouds for me

But why should I be so lonesome

When there's nobody lonesome for me.

--- Instrumental ---

The violets so blue are calling for you

The roses so sweet make me lonely

They bring to my mind a sweet happy time

When your love was only for me.

But why should I be so lonely

Why should I be so sad

Though another is taking from me

The best pal that I ever had.

She's taking the sunshine with her

And leaving the clouds for me

But why should I be so lonesome

When there's nobody lonesome for me...
