Everybody’s Out of Town But Me
Music by Billy James
Words by Geo. C. Pennington
Hello Joe;
Hello Flo
Haven’t seen you for a year or so
Let us talk
Take a walk
I’d rather see you this evening Joe
So if you’re game
I’m the same
Stop at my house tonight
604 on the door
I’ll have the parlor fixed right
Chorus:
Everything is lonesome down at our house
Nobody home but me
My father and my mother went out of town today
My brother runs an auto and he’s very far away
My little sister Sue eloped with Johnny
The cook went back to Germany
So come down and keep me company
For I’m as lonesome as can be
And oh! Joe! you know!
Everybody’s out of town but me!
That night Joe couldn’t go
He called her up and then told her so
She said oh! No! No! Joe!
You must not disappoint me tonight
So listen dear
Please come here
Come to my house tonight
Joe be wise realize
What is in store for you here
Chorus:
Everything is lonesome down at our house
Nobody home but me
My father and my mother went out of town today
My brother runs an auto and he’s very far away
My sister Susie’s sewing shirts for soldiers
The cook went back to Germany
So come down and keep me company!
For I'm as lonesome as can be
And oh! Joe! you know!
Everybody's out of town but me!
