Oh Lonesome Me

Jimmy Dean And Don Gibson performs "Oh Lonesome Me" live on The Jimmy Dean Show.

"Oh Lonesome Me" is a popular song written and recorded in December 1957 by Don Gibson with Chet Atkins producing it for RCA Victor in Nashville. Released in 1958, the song topped the country chart for eight non-consecutive weeks. On what became the Billboard Hot 100, it peaked at No. 7. It was Gibson's only Top 10 hit on the pop chart. Its B-side was "I Can't Stop Loving You", which peaked at No. 7 on the C&W Jockey charts and became a standard song about unrequited love. The vocal backings on both songs were provided by the Jordanaires.

Don Gibson Oh Lonesome Me lyrics

Everybody's going out and having fun 

I'm just a fool for staying home and having none 

I can't get over how she set me free 

Oh, lonesome me

A bad mistake I'm making 'bout just hanging round 

I know that I should have some fun and ain't to town 

A lovesick fool that's blind and just can't see 

Oh, lonesome me

I'll bet she's not like me 

She's out and fancy free 

Flirting with the boys with all her charms 

But I still love her so 

And brother don't you know 

I'd welcome her right back here in my arms

Well, there must be some way I can lose these lonesome blues 

Forget about the past and find somebody new 

I've thought of everything from A to Z 

Oh, lonesome me

Well, I bet she's not like me 

She's out and fancy free 

Flirting with the boys with all her charms 

But I still love her so 

And brother don't you know 

I'd welcome her right back here my arms

Well, there must be some way I can lose these lonesome blues 

Forget about the past and find somebody new 

I've thought of everything from A to Z 

Oh, lonesome me

Oh, lonesome me
