_ Get your mama, get your papa,
get your sister, get your brother,
ain't Lucy [Dm] gonna [E] show up for fun.
How to do the boogie woogie while the kids are
catchin' a chase, kick out on the [A] old back [Em] lawn.
[A] Don't come to one another, just to go a little further,
so [D] the bus [E] don't break down.
_ Can't fight the burden in the name of hardy journey,
both the silent [A] and the old campground. _ _
[D] It's that high _ lonesome [A] _ _ sound, _
when [D] that _ _ evening sun [E] goes _ down.
[A] Well I'll [D] be crying, _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _
that fiddle [D#] [E] played that high [A] lonesome _ sound. _

Well bring along your lawn chair,
sitting in the fresh air,
cooler from the [E] beer to watch the show.
So tap the syncopated rhythm in the music,
and the girls are looking pretty, don't you know.
[A] Hey look at old Ray and Patti,
the feeling comes havin' soon,
just [F] like he [E] don't care.
If he's 93, he's as bright as you and me,
dancin' to the [A] music in the air.
[Em] [F#m] And it's [D] that high _ _ lonesome [A] _ sound,
_ when [D] that _ _ evening [E] sun goes _ down.
Well [D] I'll be _ _ crying [A] on the ground,
when I hear that banjo play [E] that high [A] lonesome _ sound. _ _

Well young'uns, old dudes,
looking like they're having [F#m] fun,
enjoying the [Fm] country [E] fee. _
Candle jokes to all the folks
about the water gate got broke,
and how this grass got [A] blue. _
Hey Mr.
Fiddle man, play us a little jam.

_ _ _ I'll just wait for the girls to say it again,
I'll hear them play,
right under the back [A] of the mule. _
And it's [D] that high _ _ _ [A] lonesome sound, _
when [D] that _ _ evening [E] sun goes _ down.
_ [D] I'll be crying _ _ [A] on the ground,
when I hear that [D] fiddle [E] play that high lonesome [A] _ sound.

Well I'll [D] be _ _ _ crying [A] on the ground,
when I hear that fiddle [D] [E] play that high [A] lonesome _ _ sound. _
