Lyrics
- Western Union! Western Union! Take a telegram
Kindly make it speedy, start it, “My dear sweetie
Got your wire, you inquire if I’m really true
In reply, I want to say to you
Chorus
I’d rather be alone, just thinking of you
Than to be with someone I don’t love
I’d rather stay at home the way that I do
Than be wasting my time at parties that I’m tiring of
And though there may be lots of lovers hanging ’round my door
What I see of the others, makes me want you more
I’d rather be alone, just thinking of you
Than to be with someone I don’t love
- My sweet baby, right now may be shedding many tears
Worrying about me, cannot live without me
Don’t mis-trust me, but he must be full of blues today
Will you please squeeze this thru right away?
