high lonesome sound

whenever my soul is lonely

whenever i'm feeling blue

i start thinkin' 'bout my blue eyed darlin'

and my heart starts pinin' for you

i wanna hear that high lonesome sound

cause my sweet baby ain't around

when my life's got me down

i wanna hear that high lonesome sound

when i'm lost in this ocean of darkness

not knowing which way i should turn

and my eyes are filled with sadness

of knowing you'll never return
