Hear that lonesome whippoonwill

He sounds too blue to fly

The midnight train is whinning low

I'm so lonesome i could cry

The silence of a falling star lights up a purple sky

The moon just went behind a cloud

To hide his face and cry

Did you ever seen a night so long

When time goes crawling by

And as i wonder where you are

I'm so lonesome I could cry

I'm so lonesome I could cry
