Hear that lonesome whippoorwill
He sounds too blue to fly
This 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
That moon just went behind the clouds
I'm so lonesome I could cry

Did you ever see a robin weep
When leaves began to die?
Like me, he's lost the will to live
I'm so lonesome I could die

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