Hear that lonesome whippoorwill

He sounds too blue to fly

The midnight train is winding 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 cloud

To hide his 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 where you are

I'm so lonesome I could cry

I'm so lonesome I could cry
