"So Doggone Lonesome" is a song written and performed by Johnny Cash, released in 1955.
It is featured in the Fallout TV series episodes "The End", in the scene where Maximus is being beaten up by Thaddeus and his minions, and again in "The Head", during Maximus' fight with the scavengers.
Lyrics[]
I do my best to hide this lowdown feelin’
I try to make believe there’s nothing wrong
But they’re always asking me about you darling
And it hurts me so to tell ’em that you’re gone
If they ask me I guess I’d be denyin’
That I’ve been unhappy all alone
But if they heard my heart they’d hear it cryin’
Where’s my darling, when’s she coming home
I ask myself a million times what’s right for me to do
To try to lose my blues alone or hang around for you
But I make it pretty good until that moon comes shining through
And then I get so doggone lonesome
Time stands still when you’re a waitin’
Sometimes I think my heart is stoppin’ too
One lonely hour seems forever
Sixty minutes more to wait for you
But I guess I’ll keep waitin’ ’til you’re with me
‘Cause I believe that loving you is right
But I don’t care if the sun don’t rise tomorrow
If I can’t have you with me tonight
Well I know I’ll keep on loving you
‘Cause true love can’t be killed
I ought to get you off of my mind
But I guess I never will
I could have a dozen others
But I know I’d love you still
‘Cause I get so doggone lonesome
