Randy Travis
High Lonesome
[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

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

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
And it's a high lonesome
High lonesome, heartbroken and blue
Its a high lonesome
Little darlin', I'm lonesome for you
[Refrain]
It's a high lonesome
Little darlin', I'm lonesome for you
