Oh Lonesome MeJerry Lee Lewis

Songwriter: Don Gibson

Producer: Jerry Kennedy

Everybody's going out and having fun
I'm just a fool, I'm staying home and having none
Well, I can't get over how she set me free
Oh, lonesome me

A bad mistake I'm making by just hanging round
I know that I should have some fun and paint the town
I'm a lovesick fool so blind I just can't see
Oh, lonesome me

I'll bet she's not like me, she's out and fancy free
She's flirting with the boys with all her charms
But I still love her so and buddy don't you know
That I'd welcome her right back here in my arms

There must be some way that I can lose these lonesome blues
Forget about my past and find someone new
This lovesick fool and blind just can't see
Oh, lonesome me, yeah

I'm gonna bet she's not like me
That woman, she's out and fancy free
She's flirting with the boys with all her charms
But I still love her so, buddy don't you know

I'd welcome that woman right back here in my arms, arms, arms, arms
There must be some way that I can lose these lonesome blues
Forget about my past and find someone new
I'm a lovesick fool and blind, just can't see

Oh, lonesome me
Oh, lonesome me
Oh, lonesome me

Jerry Lee Lewis

Jerry Lee Lewis was a leading figure in the popularization of rock & roll during the 1950s. He was first signed to Sun Records in 1956 where he was labelmates with Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley, Roy Orbison, and other early rock artists. Of those musicians, however, he was the only piano player and combined with his heavy-handed playing style, sexually suggestive lyrics, and provocative stage antics he came to epitomize the rebelliousness of the genre.

He rose to international fame for his 1957 versions of the songs “Great Balls of Fire” and “Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On.”

Lewis' popularity rapidly tumbled, however, when in 1958, when at the age of 22, he married his 13-year-old cousin. Though this scandal continued to tarnish his image, Lewis never retired from music. As of October 2015, he continues to perform live.
