Lonesome For You Lyrics - Ricky Skaggs

I can't say a train whistle makes me lonesome 

I can't say a whippoorwill makes me blue 

It takes more than the sound of a Greyhound leavin' town 

To break this poor boys heart in two 

I can't say them old sad songs on the jukebox 

Are causin' me to cry these bitter tears 

The only time they do is when I get the blues 

Or when I'm feeling lonesome for you 

And I'm lonesome for you little darling 

More lonesome than the high winds in the pines 

I don't want somebody else taking care of 

What used to be mine 

There's an old houndog on the hill behind the house 

He sit up sharp and howlin' at the moon 

I can tell by his whinin' that his heart been broken too 

He's lonesome like I'm lonesome for you 

And I'm lonesome for you little darling 

I can't say train the whistle makes me lonesome 

I can't say whippoorwill makes me blue 

The only time they do is when I get the blues 

Or when I'm feeling lonesome for you 

Yeah the only time they do is when I get the blues 

Or when I'm feelin' lonesome for you
