Hear that lonesome whippoorwill 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 its 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 just where you are I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry.
