Hear that lonesome whippoorwill
Sounds too blue to fly
The midnight train is whinin' low
And I'm so lonesome I could cry

Have you ever seen a robin weep
When leaves begin to die
That means he's lost the will to live
And I'm so lonesome I could cry

The silence of a falling star
Lights up a purple sky
The moon just went behind the clouds
To hide its face and cry

Well, I never seen a night so long
When time comes crawling by
And as I wonder where you are
I'm so lonesome I could cry

No, I never seen a night so long
When time comes crawling by
And as I wonder where you are
I'm so lonesome I could cry
I'm so lonesome I could cry
