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



I wanna hear that high lonesome sound

'Cause my sweet baby ain't around

And when my life's got me down

I wanna hear that high lonesome sound



I wanna hear that high lonesome sound

'Cause my sweet baby ain't around

And when my life's got me down

I wanna hear that high lonesome sound

And when my life's got me down

I wanna hear that high lonesome sound
