Why Should I Be Lonely? Lyrics - Merle Haggard

WHY SHOULD I BE LONELY 

(Jimmie Rodgers - Estelle Lowell)

Oh the moon light's so bright makes me lonely tonight 

Everything seems to make me feel blue here 

I'm down hearted now I'm 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 roses so sweet make me lonely 

They bring to my mind a sweet happy time when your love was only for me 

Why should I be so lonely...
