Hear that lonesome whippoorwill

He sounds too blue to fly

That means he's lost the will to live

I'm so lonesome I could cry

Did you ever see a night so slow

As time goes draggin' by

The moon just went behind the clouds
To hide it's face and 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

I'm so lonesome I could cry

I'm so lonesome I could cry
