High Lonesome Songtext / Lyric

High in a tree on the top of the hill

By the light of the lonesome ol' moon

I hear the call of a lone whipporwill

Singing his mournful tune.



Way off in the night blows the long freight train

With a roar and a ramble of wheels

My poor heart is breaking with every refrain

'Cause it sounds just like the way I feel.






And it's high lonesome

High lonesome, heartbroken and blue

High lonesome

Lil' darling, I'm lonesome for you.



--- Instrumental ---



Do you ever get weary roamin' around

Do you think of the sweet love we knew

Do you ever get lonesome the way I am now

Lil' darling I'm lonesome for you.



And it's high lonesome

High lonesome heartbroken and blue

It's a high lonesome

Lil' darling I'm lonesome for you.



It's high lonesome

Lil' darling I'm lonesome for you...
