Hear that lonesome whippoorwill he sounds too blue to fly
The midnight train is whinin` 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 his face and cry
Did you ever see a robin weep when leaves began 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 where you are I`m so lonesome I could cry
I`m so lonesome I could cry
