High in a tree on the top of the hill By the light of the lonesome ol' moon I hear the call of a lone whippoorwill Singing his mournful tune Way off in the night blows the long freight train With a roar and a ramble of wheels My poor heart is breaking with every refrain 'Cause it sounds just like the way I feel And its high lonesome High lonesome heartbroken and blue High lonesome Lil' darling, 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? Lil' darling, I'm lonesome for you And its high lonesome High lonesome heartbroken and blue It's a high lonesome Lil' darling, I'm lonesome for you Its high lonesome Lil' darling, I'm lonesome for you
