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
Chorus:
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
