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
did you ever see a robin weep
when leaves begin to die
that mean’s he’s lost his 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
