Hear the lonesome whiperwill
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 it s face and cry
Did you ever see a robin weep
When 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
