[Verse 1]
Do you hear that lonesome whippoorwill?
He sounds too blue to fly
And the midnight train is whining low
I'm so lonesome I could cry

[Verse 2]
I have never seen a night so long
When time goes crawling by
The moon just went behind the cloud
To hide its face and cry
Yes, to cry, yes, to cry
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
