Lonesome Night Lyrics - The Stanley Brothers

In the pale moonlight we quarreled one night 

Our hearts were young and free 

I left her there alone at night 

I thought she was two-timin' me 

On a lonesome night and far from home 

I heard a mournful sound 

The girl I love is callin' me 

She thinks I turned her down 

She begged me not to leave her there 

She said she had been true 

But a jealous heart would not believe 

Oh how I long for you 

So now I'm on my way back home 

Sweetheart do you still care 

I promise never to leave your side 

And your love I will always share
