Accompaniment:
Lyrics
- 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 gal
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
- Angels they say are only above
I know that’s wrong because my old love
Sure is an angel take it from me
And she’s all the angel I want to see
Maybe she’ll come back some day
All I can do now is pray
