Hear that lonesome whip-poor-will (winter bird
?)
He sounds too blue to fly
Midnight train is running alone
I'm so lonesome I could cry

I've never seen a night so long
Where time goes crowling by
The moone just when behind the cloud
That's the face I'm crying

Did you ever see a robin weep
When leaves began to die
That means he's lost the will to live
I'm so lonesome I could cry

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
