Hear that lonesome whippoorwill He sounds too blue to fly The 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 The moon just went behind a cloud To hide its face and cry,
Did you ever hear a robin weep When leaves began to die That mean he's lost the will to live I'm so lonesome I could cry. 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.
