Hear that lonesome whippoorwill, he sounds too blue to fly
The midnight train is whinin' low, I'm so lonesome I could cry

I've never seen a night so long when time goes crawlin' by
The moon just went behind a cloud to hide its face and cry

Did you ever see a Robin weep when leaves began to die?
That means he's lost the 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
