Did you hear that lonesome whippoorwill,
He sounds too blue to fly.
The midnight train is whining low,
I'm so lonesome I could cry.
Did you ever seen a night so long
When time goes crawling by.
The moon just went behind the clouds
I'm so lonesome I could 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 the falling star
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.
