His cry echoes out through the hills
 He's sad that his lover flew off with another
 And I know the sorrow he feels

 (Chorus)
 Lonesome dove  we're not that diff'rent
 You sing a sad song  but you're not alone
 You've been forever forsaken by the one that you love
 I know how you feel  lonesome dove

 I've tried to run from the pain of his memory
 But I can't find a place I can hide
 And that old lonesome dove is gonna mourn for his love
 No matter how far he flies

 (Repeat chorus
