I hear that lonesome whippoorwill

She sounds too blue to fly

The midnight train is whining low

I'm so lonesome I could cry

Did you ever see a robin weep

When leaves begin to die

It's 'cause 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 sweet darling where you are

I'm so lonesome I could cry

The train that I ride is sixteen KM long

And I got know my love was gone

And if I could growing take off and fly

I'm so lonesome I could cry

I'm so lonesome I could cry
