(I'm so lonesome I could cry)
Hear that lonesome whippoorwill
He sounds
Too blue
To fly
The 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
To hide its face and cry

Now did you ever see a robin weep
When leaves begin to die
That means she's lost her 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
Yes I'm so lonesome I could cry
