(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
Instrumental
It seems I'm always losing, love just won'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
Just call me lonesome number one
here I come, I'm lonesome number one
*Bei Don Gibson lautet diese Zeile: "Heartaches always keep me on the run"
