I'M GETTIN' MIGHTY LONESOME FOR YOU
Ram

as rec by Ella Fitzgerald w The Four Keys  
March 11th 1942 New York


I'm gettin' mighty lonesome for you,
I'm gettin' sentimental and blue.
I miss each thrill, each wonderful caress,
I never will get used to being lonesome, I guess!

The days seem mighty long when you're gone,
The nights all drag along until dawn,
And though I have the time, I never know what to do,
I'm gettin' mighty lonesome for you,
I'm gettin' mighty lonesome for you!

Gettin' mighty lonesome and it's just for you,
I'm gettin' sentimental and I feel so blue.
I miss each thrill, each wonderful caress,
I never will get used to bein' lonesome, I guess!

The days seem mighty long when you're gone, (the days seem long)
Nights all drag until dawn. 9when you're gone)
Though I have the time, I never know what to do,
I'm gettin' mighty lonesome for you, (scat)
I'm gettin' mighty lonesome for you! (you, you, you, you)
