That High Lonesome Sound
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Well, get your Mama, get your Papa
Get your sister, get your brother
Aunt Lucy'sa gonna show Uncle John
How to do the boogie-woogie
While the kissin' cousins dosie-do
Until the break of dawn
Y'all come with one another
Just to do a little pickin'
Everybody now gather round
The camp fire's burnin'
An' tonight my heart is yearnin'
For the sight
Of that old camp ground
And that high lonesome sound
When that evenin' sun goes down
We're gonna dance
Right off the ground
When I hear the fiddle
Play that high lonesome sound
Yeah, come on over, baby
Now, I'm sure
We're gonna have some fun
Enjoyin' the country vie
Toe-tappin' syncopated
Music playin' loud
An' the girls
Are lookin'
Mighty pretty too
Look at ol' Grand Pappy
He's feelin' kinda snappy
It seems like
He just don't care
He's over 93
He's as spry as you or me
Just dancin'
To the music in the air
It's that high lonesome sound
When that evenin' sun goes down
I'm gonna dance
Right off the ground
When I hear the fiddle
Play that high lonesome sound
Yeah, well yonder
Comes a mandolin
And the banjo's right in tune
Yeah, the bull thud
Is slappin' leather
I'm howlin' at the moon
Hey, Mr Fiddle Man
Play us all a little jam
Yeah, that's the wing
On rose sample
Give us a hint
That they're ridin'
On the back of a mule
It's that high lonesome sound
When that evenin' sun goes down
I'm gonna dance
Right off the ground
When I hear the fiddle play
That high lonesome sound
When I hear the fiddle play
That high lonesome sound
