"Oh Lonesome Me" is a popular song written and recorded in December 1957 by Don Gibson with Chet Atkins[5] producing it for RCA Victor in Nashville. Released in 1958, the song topped the country chart for eight non-consecutive weeks. On what became the Billboard Hot 100, it peaked at No. 7. It was Gibson's only Top 10 hit on the pop chart.[6] Its B-side was "I Can't Stop Loving You", which peaked at No. 7 on the C&W Jockey charts and became a standard song about unrequited love.[7] The vocal backings on both songs were provided by the Jordanaires.
