Hear that lonesome whippoorwill He sounds too blue to fly That 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 the clouds to hide his face and cry Did you ever see a willow weep When the leaves begin to die That means 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
