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 hear a robin weep

When leaves began to die

That mean 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
