Lyrics:

Whenever my soul is lonely
Whenever I'm feeling blue
I start thinking about my blue eyed darling
And my heart starts pining for you.

Chorus:
I wanna hear that high lonesome sound
'Cause my sweet baby ain't around
When my life's got me down
I wanna hear that high lonesome sound.

--- Instrumental ---

When I'm lost in this ocean of darkness
Not knowing which way I should turn
And my eyes are filled with sadness
Of knowing you'll never return.

Chorus:
I wanna hear that high lonesome sound
'Cause my sweet baby ain't around
When my life's got me down
I wanna hear that high lonesome sound.

--- Instrumental ---

Chorus:
I wanna hear that high lonesome sound
'Cause my sweet baby ain't around
When my life's got me down
I wanna hear that high lonesome sound.

When my life's got me down
I wanna hear that high lonesome sound...
