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

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

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

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
