High, high, high ‘n’ dry She’s lost her love and She’ll never know why High, high, high ‘n’ dry Nothing to do now But sit down and cry
What can you say When your girl runs away If telling you sweetly She loves you completely
I wish I knew ‘Cause it happened to me When a two-timing woman She turned out to be
But now she’s high, high, high ‘n’ dry She’s lost her love and She’ll never know why High, high, high ‘n’ dry Nothing to do now But sit down and cry
I should have known When I first took her home That she wouldn’t stay with me No love to give me She played around All the boys in the town And like them I was finally due to be down
But now she’s high, high, high ‘n’ dry She’s lost her love and She’ll never know why High, high, high ‘n’ dry Nothing to do now But sit down and cry
One day along Came the end of my song A young man whom she fell for Heard wedding bells for But when she showed him Her white bridal gown He was up and away on a train out of town
And now she’s high, high, high ‘n’ dry She’s lost her love and She’ll never know why High, high, high ‘n’ dry Nothing to do now, but sit down and cry High ‘n’ dry
