Johnny Horton Lyrics
"Goodbye Lonesome, Hello Baby Doll"

(Lee Emerson)

I've been here for a long, long time waitin' all alone
Waitin' here in this old house by the telephone
Sittin' in this same old chair lookin' out to blind
There ain't been a day gone by that she ain't on my mind.

Goodbye lonesome, hello baby doll
Goodbye lonesome you almost drove me wild
Well, I feel a little trickety on the line
She's done told me she's mine, oh mine
Goodbye lonesome, hello baby doll.

--- Instrumental ---

When she is here I'm tellin' you we're gonna celebrate
And all those hugs and kisses you couldn't count a late
When she holds me I can't explain the way I feel inside
Goodbye you old lonesome I got myself a bride.

Goodbye lonesome, hello baby doll
Goodbye lonesome you almost drove me wild
Well, I feel a little trickety on the line
She's done told me she's mine, oh mine
Goodbye lonesome, hello baby doll...
