Hear the lonesome whippoorwill
He sounds to blue to fly
The midnight train is winding low
And I'm so lonesome I could cry

Did you ever hear a robin weep
As leaves begin to die?
That means he's lost his will to live
And I'm so lonesome I could cry

The silence of a falling star
Lights up the purple sky
And as I wonder where you are
I'm so lonesome I could cry
I'm so lonesome I could cry
