Whenever I'm feeling lonely
And whenever I'm feeling blue
Well, I start thinkin' 'bout my blue eyed darlin'
And my heart starts pinin' for you.

Chorus:
I'm gonna hear that high lonesome sound
'Cause my sweet baby ain't around
And when my life's got me down
I'm gonna hear that high lonesome sound.

--- Instrumental ---

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.

Chorus:
I'm gonna hear that high lonesome sound
'Cause my sweet baby ain't around
And when my life's got me down
I'm gonna hear that high lonesome sound.

--- Instrumental ---

Chorus:
I'm gonna hear that high lonesome sound
'Cause my sweet baby ain't around
And when my life's got me down
I'm gonna hear that high lonesome sound.

And when my life's got me down
I'm gonna hear that high lonesome sound...
