- Perry Como - You Don’t Kno’ What Lonesome Is ( ’Till You Get to Herdin’ Cows ) Lyrics
- Uploaded by LOVE4LYRICS at Pastebin.com
- Do me Ah Ma doo, Do me Ah Ma day!
- All alone . . . all alone!
- When the hoot owl toots his tooloo
- to the whale of the nip wick hen,
- and the chink funk chirps in the chilly night,
- it's mighty lonesome then . . .
- And it's mighty lonesome when the wind,
- howls thru the jack-pine boughs
- but you don't kno' what lonesome is,
- 'till you get to herdin' cows . . .
- Do me Ah Ma doo, Do me Ah Ma day!
- All alone . . . all alone!
- Oh, the ordinary fella,
- gets off on a Saturday night
- an' he gets a chance to see his pals
- with change no more than right
- but when the saddle is your life
- there's no time to carouse
- and you don't kno' what lonesome is,
- 'till you get to herdin' cows . . .
- Do me Ah Ma doo, Do me Ah Ma day!
- By myself . . . by myself!
- Now, the keeper of the lighthouse
- an' the sailor man at sea
- an' the lookout on the mountain top
- ain't got a thing on me
- 'cause I got all the lonesomeness
- that the common law allows
- Man, you don't kno' what lonesome is,
- 'till you get to herdin' cows . . .
- Do me Ah Ma doo, Do me Ah Ma day!
- Cowboy blues . . . cowboy blues!
- Now, you may often wonder
- why a cowpoke sings so sad
- he's a thinkin' of the many things
- in life he's never had
- no pal, no gal for company
- jus' the kettle as they prowl
- man, you don't kno' what lonesome is,
- 'till you get to herdin' cows . . .
- Do me Ah Ma doo, Do me Ah Ma day!
- All alone . . . by myself!
- Cowboy blues . . . doggone cow!
- Doggone COW!
- Doggone you, you licked me again!
