I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry

Helen Merrill · Other Songs - Helen Merrill

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 began 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
