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 a cloud
To hide its face and cry.
Did you ever see a Robin weep
When leaves begin to die,
That means he`s lost the 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 just where you are
I`m So Lonesome I Could Cry.
