High Lonesome

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 whip-poor-will

Singing his mournful tune

And it's high lonesome

High lonesome heartbroken and blue

And it's high lonesome

Just like I'm lonesome for you

Way off in the night blows the long freight train

With a roar and a ramble of wheels

And my poor heart is breaking with every refrain

'Cause it sounds like the way I feel

And it's high lonesome

High lonesome heartbroken and blue

And it's high lonesome

Just like I'm lonesome for you

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?

Little darling, I'm lonesome for you

And it's high lonesome

High lonesome heartbroken and blue

And it's high lonesome

Just like I'm lonesome for you

Little darling, I'm lonesome for you
