Lonesome Out Tonight - Lyrics - Ferlin Husky

Ferlin Eugene Husky was an early American country music singer who was equally adept at the genres of traditional honky-tonk, ballads, spoken recitations, and rockabilly pop tunes. He had two dozen Top 20 hits in the Billboard country charts between 1953 and 1975; his versatility and matinee-idol looks propelling a seven-decade entertainment career.

Oh it's lonesome out tonight Here I stand on the lonely street nobody cares about poor old me Oh it's lonesome out tonight This old town's not good for me it holds too many memories Oh it's lonesome out tonight She told me that my time would come for hurting her each day My loneliness started last night and it looks like it's here to stay My conscience just won't let me sleep so I'm out here just a walking the streets Oh it's lonesome out tonight Maybe I should catch that midnight train but where could I go it's all the same Oh it's lonesome out tonight Ever since she set me free I've been filled with misery Oh it's lonesome out tonight She told me that my time would come... Oh so lonesome out tonight
