Hear that lonesome wippoorwill

He sounds too blue to fly

The midnight train is whining low

I'm so lonesome I could cry

The silence of a falling star

Lights up a purple sky

The moon just went behind the clouds

To hide its face and cry

Did you never seen a night so long

Time goes crawling by when

And as I wonder where you are

I'm so lonesome I could cry

I'm so lonesome I could cry
