High Lonesome Lyrics - Original Album Series - Randy Travis

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 whipporwill 

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 it's 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 it's high lonesome 

High lonesome heartbroken and blue 

It's a high lonesome 

Lil' darling I'm lonesome for you. 

It's high lonesome 

Lil' darling I'm lonesome for you...
