Why Should I Be Lonely?
Jimmie Rodgers, Estelle Lovell
Oh the moonlight so bright
Makes me lonely tonight
Everything seems to make me feel blue, dear
I am downhearted now, I am lonesome somehow
'Cause you are proving untrue
Why should I be so lonely
Why should I be sad
Though another is taking from me the
Best pal I've ever had
She's taking the sunshine with her
Leaving the clouds for me
But why should I be so lonesome
When there's nobody lonesome for me
Oh the violets so blue are calling for you
The roses so sweet make me lonely
They bring to my mind the sweet happy time
When your love was only for me
Odle ay-ee-o, d'lay-ee ay, d'lay-ee
