High Lonesome Hill-Lucious Curtis
Curtis, lead guitar in D position, standard tuning, Willie Ford, seconding guitar in D position standard tuning

Babe, I went and I stood up on some high old lonesome hill
Babe, I went and stood up on some high old lonesome hill
And looked down on the house where I used to live

I wakes up every morning, babe, with leaving on my mind
I wakes up every morning, babe, with leaving on my mind
Well, the woman that I'm lovin' treats me so unkind

I have a brownskin woman, boys, her front tooth crowned with gold
I have a brownskin woman, boys, her front tooth crowned with gold
Well, I wouldn't mistreat her just to save nobody's soul

Well, my Mama, she told me, boys, when I was leaving home
Now my Mama, she told me when I were leaving home
Said "Son you may go, but you're gon' be treated wrong"

Spoken: Yes, man

Instrumental

I said bye, bye babe, I'm gonna leave your bad luck town
Now bye, bye babe, I'm gon' leave your bad luck town
You's a dirty mistreater, don't mean no good nohow

Now listen sweet mama, I ain't gonna be here so long
Now listen sweet mama, I ain’t gonna be here long
You’s a dirty mistreater, down the road I’m goin'

I wakes up every morning, babe, with leaving on my mind
I wakes up every morning, babe, with leaving on my mind
Well, the woman that I'm lovin' treat me so unkind

I got a woman in the bottom, I got two out on the hill
I got a woman in the bottom, boys, two out on the hill
Now when I get sick they pays my doctor's bill

Instrumental

I'm gon' leave you walking, babe the chance is I'll catch a ride
I'm gonna leave you walking, babe, chance is I'll catch a ride
If I never no more see you, you'll be satisfied
