I'm Lonesome Too
Shared Solitude: Embracing Loneliness in Jimmie Rodgers' 'I'm Lonesome Too'
Lyrics
You call me up and say your tears are fallin'
You contact me and express that you're crying
You know I'd love to comfort you
I would like to provide comfort to you
Guess we always had alot in common
We always shared many similarities
You know, I'm lonesome, too
You should know that I also feel lonely
You know, I'm lonesome, too
Reiterating the sentiment that I am lonely too
If pouring rain and thunder
If a heavy rainstorm and thunder occur
Shakes your window
Your window is shaken by the storm
Trouble comes knockin' out of the blue
Unexpected problems arise suddenly
It don't matter which way that old wind blows
Regardless of the challenges, I'm there for you
Cause, I'm lonesome, too i'm lonesome, too
Emphasizing again that I am lonely too
If there's something in your heart
If there's an emotional burden you can't overcome
You can't get over
I am willing to be the support you need
I'll be the ladder you can use
Offering assistance by being a metaphorical ladder
Climb on up and cry here, on my shoulder
Encouraging you to come to me and share your tears
You know I'm lonesome too
Reaffirming that I am also experiencing loneliness
There's a well upon that hill
Referring to a well on a hill associated with wishing
That's good for wishin'
Expressing repeated wishes for your well-being
And time and time again, I wish for you
Despite wishes, personal struggles are evident
But, my heart's broke and
Indicating a broken heart and financial difficulties
All my money's missin'
Highlighting the hardship and loneliness experienced
You know, I'm lonesome, too
Reiterating the acknowledgment of personal loneliness
You know, I'm lonesome, too
Affirming once again that I am also feeling lonely
