Thanks to Jim for contributing this one.

Intro:D - A - E - A

A

Well get you father, get your mother,

A

Get your sister get your brother,

E

Aunt Lucy, gonna show Uncle John.

E

How to do the boogie woogie

E

While the kissin' cousin chasin'

A

Chicken out on the old back lawn.

A

Y'all come with one another,

A

Just a-go a little further,

E

If the schoolbus don't brake down.

E

Campfires burnin',

E

In the night my heart is yearning

A

For the sight of the ole campground.

CHORUS

D A

And that High Lonesome Sound

D E

When the evenin' sun goes down,

D A

I'll be crawlin' on the ground,

E A

When I hear a fiddle play that High Lonesome Sound.

Well bring along your lawn chair

For sittin' in the fresh air

Around the cooler full of beer and watch the show.

There's clog dancin', horses prancin',

Syncopated music playin',

Girls lookin pretty,don't you know.

Ah, look at old man Pappy,

He's feelin' kind of snappy

Seems like he just don't care,

That he’s over 93

He's as spry as he can be

Dancin' to the music in the air.

CHORUS

Well young 'uns, old ones

Lookin' like they're havin' fun

Enjoyin' the country review

Tellin' jokes to all the folks

How the water beaker? meter? broke

And how this grass got blue.

Hey Mr. Fiddle man

Play us all a little jam now

Na na na....

And that's the way Monroe says

Uncle Pen's on him to play

Ridin' on the back of a mule.

CHORUS

I hear a fiddle play that High Lonesome Sound (x3)
