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
[ ac.guitar - steel ]
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
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
[ ac.guitar - steel ]
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
