Did you hear

that lonesome

whippoorwill

He sounds too blue to fly

The midnight train

is whining low

I'm so lonesome

I could cry

Did you ever see

a night so long

When time

goes crawling by

The moon just went

behind the cloud

And I'm so lonesome

I could cry

Did you ever see

a robin weep

When leaves begin to die

That means he's lost

the will to live

And 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

Yeah, I could cry

I could cry, I could cry

I could cry...
