Standard (EADGBE)

Chorus

Lonesome number one,

Just call me lonesome number one

Although no titles have I won,

I surely must be lonesome number one

Every love I've had has faded like the dew

Every one I've wanted, has wanted someone new

Heartaches hang around and always come

I surely must be lonesome number one

Chorus

It seems I'm always losing, love just can't come near

Just when love gets close it always disappears

Sorrow always keeps me on the run

I surely must be Lonesome Number One

Chorus
