High Lonesome - 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 whippoorwill

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 its high lonesome

High lonesome heartbroken and blue

High lonesome

Lil' darling, 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?

Lil' darling, I’m lonesome for you

And its high lonesome

High lonesome heartbroken and blue

It’s a high lonesome

Lil' darling, I’m lonesome for you

Its high lonesome

Lil' darling, I’m lonesome for you
