That High Lonesome Sound by The Nashville Bluegrass Band Lyrics
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 view
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
Instrumental break
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
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 view
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

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
