"Why Should I Be Lonely" - Eddie Noack (originally by Jimmie Rodgers) Track 7 of 12 on the album "Remembering Jimmie Rodgers" (1970) [Intro] C G E A7 D7 G [Verse 1]
        G                            A7
Oh, the moonlight so bright makes me lonely tonight

     D7                          G      D7
Everything seems to make me feel blue, dear

     G                     A7
I am downhearted now, I am lonesome somehow

        D7               G
'cause you are proving untrue
[Chorus]
G            E     A7
Why should I be so lonely?

D7              G
Why should I be sad?

        C                     G  E
Though another is taking from me

    A7                  D7
The best pal I've ever had

      G
She's taking the sunshine with her

              G7    C
Leaving the clouds for me

                       G   E
But why should I be so lonesome

     A7             D7           G
When there's nobody lonesome for me?
[Interlude] C G E A7 D7 G [Verse 2]
        G                   A7
Oh, the violets so blue are calling for you

    D7                     G   D7
The roses so sweet make me lonely

     G                    A7
They bring to my mind the sweet, happy time

          D7                G
When your love was only for me
[Chorus]
      G
She's taking the sunshine with her

              G7       C
Leaving the clouds for me

                       G   E
But why should I be so lonesome

     A7             D7           G
When there's nobody lonesome for me?
