High 'n' Dry

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
