From Blanche
Calloway and Her Joy Boys, 1925-1935; The Chronogical Classics 783.
Lonesome, lovesick, blues will make you feel so lonely,
When you're left all alone, dyin' for some lovin',
And the one you love has gone.
Deep down in my heart, I feel sad and blue,
Lonesome and lovesick, baby, just for you.
But when I'm alone, I'm up the whole night through;
I want some loving, no one but you will do.
My heart's aching, breaking for some news,
My heart is aching, breaking for some news,
My heart is aching; gee, I'm all confused;
Lonesome and lovesick, dying with the lovesick blues.
Lonesome and lovesick, dying with the lovesick blues.
