Lyrics

[Verse 1] High in a tree on top of the hill By the light of the lonesome old moon I hear the call of a lone whippoorwill Singing his mournful tune [Verse 2] Way off in the night blows a long freight train With a roar and a rumble of wheels My poor heart is breaking with every refrain 'Cause it sounds just the way I feel [Chorus] And it's a high lonesome High lonesome, heartbroken and blue It's a high lonesome Little darlin', I'm lonesome for you [Verse 3] 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 darlin', I'm lonesome for you [Chorus] And it's a high lonesome High lonesome, heartbroken and blue Its a high lonesome Little darlin', I'm lonesome for you [Refrain] It's a high lonesome Little darlin', I'm lonesome for you
