Emmylou Harris - High Lonesome lyrics

rate me

(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.

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...
