Johnny Cash - So Doggone Lonesome

"I do my best to hide this lowdown feelin'
I try to make believe there's nothing wrong
But they're always asking me about you darling
And it hurts me so to tell 'em that you're gone
If they ask me I guess I'd be denyin'
That I've been unhappy all alone
But if they heard my heart they'd hear it cryin'
Where's my darling, when's she coming home

I ask myself a million times what's right for me to do
To try to lose my blues alone or hang around for you
But I make it pretty good until that moon comes shining through
And that I get so doggone lonesome

Time stands still when you're a waitin'
Sometimes I think my heart is stoppin' too
One lonely hour seems forever
Sixty minutes more to wait for you
But I guess I'll keep waitin' till you're with me cause I believe that loving you is right
But I don't care if the sun don't rise tomorrow if I can't have you with me tonight

Well I know I'll keep on loving you
'Cause true love can't be killed
I ought to get you off of my mind
But I guess I never will
I could have a dozen others
But I know I'd love you still
'Cause I get so doggone lonesome

Johnny Cash - So Doggone Lonesome (1956)

This was one of Johnny Cash's earliest recordings. Originally intended to be the "A" side (or "hit" side), the FLIP side ("Folsom Prison Blues") quickly caught on, and wound up being the HIT...

This is from Tex Ritter's Ranch Party show some around 1956-1958. I don't know for sure... But Luther is THE guitarist :)
