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.
Did you hear that lonesome whippoorwill
He sounds too blue to fly
That midnight train rides alone
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 the cloud
I'm so lonesome I could cry
Did you ever see a robin weep
When leaves begin to die?
It means he's lost the will to live
I'm so lonesome I could cry
The silence of the falling stars
Lights up a purple sky
And as I wonder where you are
I'm so lonesome I could cry
And as I wonder where you are
I'm so lonesome I could cry
