Hear that lonesome whippoorwill?

He sounds too blue to fly
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 his 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 where you are

I'm so lonesome I could cry

I'm so lonesome I could cry
