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
