- Verse:
- Gee, but I'm lonesome, lonesome
and blue,
- I've found out something
I never knew,
- I know now what it means
to be sad,
- For I've lost the best gal
I ever had.
- She only left yesterday,
- Somebody stole her away.
-
- Chorus:
- Somebody stole my gal,
- Somebody stole my pal,
- Somebody came and took her
away,
- She didn't even say she
was leavin'.
- The kisses I loved so,
- He's getting now I know,
- And Gee! I know that she,
- Would come to me, If she
could see,
- Her broken hearted lonesome
pal,
- Somebody stole my gal.
