The Beatles recorded Lonesome Tears In My Eyes just once, for a BBC radio show in 1963.

The song was first released in March 1957 by Johnny Burnette and his Rock ‘n’ Roll Trio. It was written by Burnette, his brother Dorsey, Paul Burlison and Al Mortimer.

The Beatles performed Lonesome Tears In My Eyes on 10 July 1963, for the sixth edition of the Pop Go The Beatles radio show. It was taped at the Aeoloan Hall in London, and first broadcast on 23 July.

This is a Dorsey Burnette number – brother of Johnny Burnette – called Lonesome Tears In My Eyes, recorded on their very first LP in 1822!

John Lennon
Live At The BBC

In April 1969, Lennon and McCartney recorded The Ballad Of John And Yoko together at Abbey Road Studios. The song’s bass line and closing guitar riff bear a notable similarity to those of Lonesome Tears In My Eyes.
