Did you hear that lonesome whippoorwill? He sounds too blue to fly That midnight train rides alone I'm so lonesome I could cry Did you ever see a night so long When time goes crawling by? The moon just went behind the cloud I'm so lonesome I could cry Did you ever see a robin weep When leaves begin to die? It means he's lost the will to live I'm so lonesome I could cry The silence of the falling stars Lights up a purple sky And as I wonder where you are I'm so lonesome I could cry And as I wonder where you are I'm so lonesome I could cry
