I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry

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

I've never seen a night so long

When time goes crawling by

And as I wonder where you are

I'm so lonesome, I could cry

Did you ever hear a robin weep

When leaves begin to die?

That means he's lost the will to live

I'm so lonesome, I could cry
