I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry

Hear that lonesome whippoorwill

He sounds too blue to fly

The midnight train is whining low

And I'm so lonesome I could cry

Did you ever see a night so long

When time goes crawling by?

The moon just went behind a cloud

To hide her face and cry

The silence of a fallen star

Lights up a purple sky

And as I wonder where you are

I'm so lonesome I could cry

Did you ever see a robin weep

When leaves begin to die?

That means he's lost the will to live

I'm so lonesome I could cry

Hear that lonesome whippoorwill

He sounds too blue to fly

The midnight train is whining low

And I'm so lonesome I could cry

I'm so lonesome I could cry
