I am Lonesome Tonight

This was written to and for Mrs. F.C. Spalding of Sunset Texas, by her husband F.C. Spalding, on the night of Jan. 31 A.D. 1927. Wile he was trying to tell her just how he felt on that night, in San Angelo Texas. About 400 miles away from her. The words is his own.


I am Lonesome. tonight.

-1-
Lonesome for the SUNSHINE,
Lonesome for the RAIN,
Lonesome for the showers,
And you again,

-2-
Lone some at the day break,
Lonesome at Dawn,
Losesome most Dear,
When you are gone.

-3-
Losesome for the song birds,
Lonesome for the trees,
Lonesome for the western skies,
And the southern breeze.

-4-
Losesome for the flowers.
That bloms in your yard,
For I'd love to see them,
Just as they are.

-5-
Losesome for our boy,
That cuddles in your arm,
Oh how I'd love to see him,
Loving your arms.

-6-
Lonesome for the morning,
Lonesome for evening,
I'LL be more losesome,
When you are leaving.

-7-
Lonesome for Mother
Lonesome for Dad
I am still lonesome,
When you are sad.

-8-
When on the old world,
My life's work id o'er,
Will you forgive,
What little I've done.

-9-
For I fell sorry,
And sore at heart,
Because I did not,
Do my part.

-10-
When I am Bent,
With old and Gray,
I'll always remember,
You and this day.
