High and lonesome, be on your merry way
 Well now, you're back a-wanting me and I'm not gonna let you stay

 Well now, ya went 'round the corner, now
 Come back soon
 Still gonna meet me you just, waitin' 'til noon

 I'm high and lonesome
 Be on your merry way
 Well now, you packed up, want to leave me
 And I'm not gonna let you stay

 Well now, tell me, tell me baby, now now
 What's wrong with you?
 Don't treat me darlin', like you, like you used to do

 I'm high and lonesome
 Be on your merry way
 Well now, you're packed up want to leave me
 And I'm not gonna let you stay
