Hear that lonesome whippoorwill He sounds too blue to fly This midnight train is whining 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 clouds I'm so lonesome I could cry Did you ever see a robin weep When leaves begin to die? Like me, he's lost the will to live I'm so lonesome I could die The silence of a falling star Lights up a purple sky As I wonder where you are I'm so lonesome I could cry I'm so lonesome I could cry
