(I'm so lonesome I could cry) Hear that lonesome whippoorwill? He sounds too blue to fly The midnight train is whinin' low I'm so lonesome I could cry I've never seen a night so long When time goes crawlin' by The moon just went behind the clouds To hide its face and cry (The moon just went behind the clouds To hide its face and cry) Did you ever see a robin weep When leaves began to die? That means me he's lost the will to live I'm so lonesome I could cry The silence of a fallin' star Lights up a purple sky And as I wonder where you are I'm so lonesome I could cry
