That High Lonesome Sound

1
Well get you father get your mother get your sister get your brother
5
Aunt Lucy gonna show Uncle John
 
How to do the boogie woogie while the kissing cousin chasing chicken
1
Out on the old back lawn
 

Y’all come with one another just to go a little further
If the schoolbus don’t break down
Campfires burnin’ in the night my heart is yearnin’
For the sight of the old campground

4 1
And that high lonesome sound
4 5
When that evening sun goes down
4 1
I’ll be crawlin’ on the ground
5 1
When I hear a fiddle play that high lonesome sound
 

Well bring along your lawn chair for sittin’ in the fresh air
And th–¡ cooler for the beer and watch the show
There’s clog dancing horses prancing syncopated music playing
Girls are lookin pretty don’t you know

Ah look at old man pappy he’s feelin’ kind of snappy
Seem like he just don’t care
That he’s over ninety three he’s as spry as you and me
Dancing to the music in the air

Well young ones old ones lookin’ like they’re havin’ fun
Enjoyin’ the country view
Tellin’ jokes to all the folks how the Watergate got broke in
And how this grass got blue

Hey mister fiddle man play us all a little jam
Now now now now
And that’s the way Monroe say Uncle Pen’s on him
To play ridin’ on the back of a mule
