Lonesome Blues
by 
Jimmy Dawkins 
recording of 1995 
from 
B Phur Real (Wild Dog 9110) 
Lonesome world, when all your friends got put you down 
Lonesome world, all your friends got put you down 
The one that you love, when you need help they can't be found 
Lonesome world, tryin' just to walk alone 
So lonesome, tryin' to walk alone 
The one that you've trusted, did a lie to you and went gone 
I got the blues, I got the blues, I got it so bad 
When you're walking all alone, baby, the worst thing you ever had 
Well, if you're all alone, oh, the one you trusted is gone 
I'm leaving you, baby, oh, I got to make my give away 
Leaving baby, wanna make my give away 
Well, it's all for business now, baby, tell you, I ain't got no time to play 
World, so sad being alone 
Oh, lonesome world, so sad living alone 
Well, if you got to live all by yourself, just by well you'll love alone 
(spoken: Lonesome world 
So sad 
You got to be alone 
But sometime it's better that way 
Because finding a friend that's really a real friend 
Well, if you got to be by yourself 
Better if you love alone)
