歌词
She hales from Kentucky where the grasses are blue
She swore the only thing missing from her life was you
Sweet mandolin queen of three-quarter time
She fell in your arms like a twin fiddle line
It wasn't too long 'fore you to waltzing alone
And the sight of her leaving, chilled you to the bone
Like a slide on a dobro playing mournful and sad
You turned to the only friend that you had.
And got high and lonesome, lonesome and high
Stoned on your own, a well-deserved solo flight
If you down get yourself some, don't be left low and dry
If you gotta be lonesome, be lonesome and high
Now you're flying like an up-tempo banjo solo
You don't notice the others, they can stay they can go
They're leaving the circle, going back to their wives
But you're still out there pickin' playing her off your mind
High and lonesome, lonesome and high
Stoned on your own, a well-deserved solo flight
If you down get yourself some, don't be left low and dry
If you gotta be lonesome, be lonesome and high
If you gotta be lonesome, be lonesome and high
