Lyrics:

Well, get your Mama, get your Papa

Get your sister, get your brother

Aunt Lucy'sa gonna show Uncle John

How to do the boogie-woogie

While the kissin' cousins dosie-do

Until the break of dawn

Y'all come with one another

Just to do a little pickin'

Everybody now gather round

The camp fire's burnin'

An' tonight my heart is yearnin'

For the sight of that old camp ground

And that high lonesome sound

When that evenin' sun goes down

We're gonna dance right off the ground

When I hear the fiddle play that high lonesome sound

Yeah, come on over, baby

Now, I'm sure we're gonna have some fun

Enjoyin' the country view

Toe-tappin' syncopated

Music playin' loud

An' the girls are lookin' mighty pretty too

Look at ol' Grand Pappy

He's feelin' kinda snappy

It seems like he just don't care

He's over 93

He's as spry as you or me

Just dancin' to the music in the air

It's that high lonesome sound

When that evenin' sun goes down

I'm gonna dance right off the ground

When I hear the fiddle play that high lonesome sound

Instrumental break

Yeah, well yonder comes a mandolin

And the banjo's right in tune

Yeah, the bull thud is slappin' leather

I'm howlin' at the moon

Hey, Mr Fiddle Man, play us all a little jam

Yeah, that's the wing on rose sample

Give us a hint that they're ridin' on the back of a mule

It's that high lonesome sound

When that evenin' sun goes down

I'm gonna dance right off the ground

When I hear the fiddle play that high lonesome sound

When I hear the fiddle play that high lonesome sound
