Lonesome Valley Again The pumpin' howl of a harmonium The silver tongue of a painted woman Whiskey wheeze of old bootlegers Ax grindin' of the lumber jackers Burned out homeplace on the farm All the tares among the corn Tryin' to find a long lost friend You've reached that lonesome valley again The timeless tick of grandfathers clock The pantomime of the parrots talk Surrealism in the midnight hour Sadness in a wilted flower A childs cry from her mamas knee The whistlin' whine of the wind so free Lookin' out for every sin You've reached that lonesome valley again copyright Rob McNurlin Buffalo Skinner Music  BMI
