I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry

Roy Orbison · Sings Don Gibson/hank Williams The Roy Orbison Way [1996]

Did you 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 a cloud



To hide its face and 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



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
