Hear the lonesome whippoorwill
His songs too blue to fly
The midnight train is a-winding low
Im so lonesome I could cry

Ive never seen a night so long
When time keeps crawling by
The moon is gone behind the clouds
To hide his face and cry

Have you ever seen a robin weep
When leaves have turned to brown?
Like me hes lost his will to live
Im so lonesome I could cry

The silence of a falling star
Lights up a purple haze
And as I wonder where you are
Im so lonesome I could cry
