The Stanley Brothers - Lonesome Night Lyrics

In the pale moonlight we quarreled one night
Our hearts were young and free
I left her there alone at night
I thought she was two-timin' me
On a lonesome night and far from home
I heard a mournful sound
The girl I love is callin' me
She thinks I turned her down
She begged me not to leave her there
She said she had been true
But a jealous heart would not believe
Oh how I long for you
So now I'm on my way back home
Sweetheart do you still care
I promise never to leave your side
And your love I always share
