I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry

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 just where you are

I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry.
