High Lonesome Lyrics

(Emmylou Harris & Gretchen Peters)
Emmylou Harris & The Woodys

High in a tree on the top of the hill
By the light of the lonesome old moon
I hear the call of a lone whipporwill
Singing his mournful tune.

And it's hi-high lonesome
High lonesome heartbroken and blue
Hi-high lonesome just like I'm lonesome for you.

--- Instrumental ---

Way off in the night blows an old 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.Emmylou Harris - High Lonesome - http://motolyrics.com/emmylou-harris/high-lonesome-lyrics.html

And it's hi-high lonesome
High lonesome heartbroken and blue
Hi-high lonesome just like I'm lonesome for you.

--- Instrumental ---

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 -hi heartbroken and blue
High lonesome little darling I'm lonesome for you.

And it's hi-high lonesome
Hi-high lonesome little darling I'm lonesome for you...
