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 whipporwill
Singing his mournful tune


And it's high lonesome
High lonesome, heartbroken and blue
High lonesome
Just like I'm lonesome for you

Way off in the night blows an ol' freight train
With a roar and a ramblin' fool
My poor heart is breaking with every refrain
'Cause it sounds just like the way I feel

Do you every get weary roamin' around
Do you think of the sweet love we knew
Do you ever get lonesome the way I am now
Li'l darlin' I'm lonesome for you
