Hear that lonesome wippoorwill
He sounds too blue to fly
The midnight train is whining low
I'm so lonesome, I could cry
The silence of a falling star
Lights up a purple sky
The moon just went behind the clouds
To hide its face and cry
I've never seen a night so long
When time goes crawling by
And as I wonder where you are
I'm so lonesome, I could cry
Did you ever hear a robin weep
When leaves begin to die?
That means he's lost the will to live
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
The silence of a falling star
Lights up a purple sky
The moon just went behind the clouds
To hide its face and cry
I've never seen a night so long
When time goes crawling by
And as I wonder where you are
I'm so lonesome, I could cry
Did you ever hear a robin weep
When leaves begin to die?
That means he's lost the will to live
I'm so lonesome, I could cry
