High Lonesome Songtext
von Longview

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
