[Verse 1]
Hear that lonesome whip-poor-will
He sounds too blue to fly
The midnight train is whining low
I'm so lonesome I could cry

[Verse 2]
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

[Verse 3]
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
I'm so lonesome I could cry
