Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
- I’ve been hearing around
That you’re throwing me down
Tell me, can it be true?
Must I stop loving you?
If it’s true I can see
You were playing with me
Maybe you will forget
And yet I’d like to bet
Chorus
Some lonesome night
“Mister Blues” will get you
Some lonesome night
When there’s nothing to do
Now you’re feeling light-hearted
And it’s easy to smile
But just wait till we’re parted for a while
Some lonesome night
And how many there’ll be
That pale moonlight
Will remind you of me
And bye and bye you’ll sigh and maybe try
To find a little easy way to die
You’ll see I’m right
Some lonesome night
- We were happy so long
Now you’re doing me wrong
‘Cause you’re leaving me here
Without one single tear
Maybe somebody new
Will be better for you
But you know I’ll be blue
And dearie so may you
