The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Hear that lonesome whippoorwill he sounds too blue to fly
That means he's lost the will to live I'm so lonesome I could cry
Did you ever see a night so slow as time goes draggin' by
The moon just went behind the clouds to hide its face and cry
The silence of a falling star lights up a purple sky
And as I wonder where you are I'm so lonesome I could cry
I'm so lonesome I could cry I'm so lonesome I could cry
