Hear that lonesome whippoorwill 
He sounds too blue to fly 
That means he's lost the will to live 
I'm so lonesome I could cry 
Did you ever see a night so slow 
As time goes draggin' by 
The moon just went behind the clouds 
To hide its face and 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 
I'm so lonesome I could cry 
I'm so lonesome I could cry
