Well, I hear the lonesome whippoorwill It sounds too blue to fly
The midnight train is wide and 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 the cloud
To hide his face and cry
Did you ever see a robin weep
When leaves began to fall
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 pearl
Purple sky
And as I wonder where you are
I'm so lonesome I could cry
And as I wonder where you are
I'm so lonesome I could cry
I'm so lonesome I could cry
I'm so lonesome I could cry
