(Roger Miller)

The last word in lonesome is me
The last word in lonesome is me
My heart is as lonely as a heart can be lonely
The last word in lonesome is me.

Too bad what's happened to our good love
Too bad what's happened to our good love
Sometimes our best isn't quite good enough
And the last word in lonesome is me.

Life is a desert and love quenches thirst
Life is a desert and love quenches thirst
We all must hurt sometimes oh this is my first time
The last word in lonesome is me.

The last word in lonesome is me
The last word in lonesome is me
My heart is as lonely as a heart can be lonely
The last word in lonesome is me...
