Lyrics Ricky Skaggs

Ricky Skaggs

Lonesome For You

I can't say a train whistle makes me lonesome

I can't say a whippoorwill makes me blue

It takes more than the sound of a Grayhound leavin' town

To break this poor boys heart in two

I can't say them old sad songs on the jukebox

Are causin' me to cry these bitter tears

The only time they do is when I get the blues

Or when I'm feeling lonesome for you

And I'm lonesome for you little darling

More lonesome than the high winds in the pines

I don't want somebody else taking care of

What used to be mine

There's an old houndog on the hill behind the house

He sit up sharp and howlin' at the moon

I can tell by his whinin' that his heart been broken too

He's lonesome like I'm lonesome for you

And I'm lonesome for you little darling...

I can't say train the wistle makes me lonesome

I can't say whippoorwill makes me blue

The only time they do is when I get the blues

Or when I'm feeling lonesome for you

Yeah the only time they do is when I get the blues

Or when I'm feelin' lonesome for you
