"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.

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.

 [bad word] 

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...
