hear that lonesome whipporwill

he sounds too blue to fly.

the midnight train is riding low.

I'm so lonesome I could cry.

(sniff)

I've never seen a night so long,

when time goes crawling by.

the moon just went behind the clouds

to hide its face and die.

(sniff)

(sniff)

did you ever see a robbin weep

when leaves begin to die?

that means he's lost the will to live.

I'm so lonesome I could cry.

the sign has come, a falling star.

like love, a purple sky.

they'll never wonder where you are.

I'm so lonesome I could cry.

(sniff)

I'm so lonesome I could cry.
