Lyrics:

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

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

And it's a high lonesome
High lonesome, heartbroken and blue
It's a high lonesome
Little darlin', I'm lonesome for you

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

And it's a high lonesome
High lonesome, heartbroken and blue
Its a high lonesome
Little darlin', I'm lonesome for you

It's a high lonesome
Little darlin', I'm lonesome for you
