Hear that lonesome whippoorwill
He sounds too blue to fly
The midnight train is whining low
I`m so lonesome I could cry

I`ve never seen a night so long
When time goes crawling by
The moon just went behind the clouds
To hide its face and cry

Did you ever see a robin weep
When leaves begin to die
That mean`s he`s lost his will to live
I`m so lonesome I could cry

The silence of a falling star
Lights up a purple sky
And as I wonder where you are
I`m so lonesome I could cry
