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 see a night so long
When time goes crawling by
The moon just went behind a cloud
To hide her face and cry
The silence of the fallen star
Lights up a purple sky
And as I wonder where you are
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
Hear that lonesome whippoorwill
He sounds too blue to fly
The midnight train is whining low
I'm so lonesome I could cry
I'm so lonesome I could cry
