High in a tree on top of the hill
D D7 A7
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
D D7 A7
With a roar and a rUmble of wheels
D D7 G
My poor heart is breaking with every refrain
D A7 D
'cause it sounds just the way I feel
D7 G D
And it's a high lonesome
D D7 A7
High lonesome heartbroken and blue

It's a high lonesome

Lil' darling I'm lonesome for you

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
