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
I'm so lonesome I could 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

I'm so lonesome I could cry
