Hear the lonesome whippoorwill
His song`s too blue to fly
The midnight train is a-winding low
I`m so lonesome I could cry
I`ve never seen a night so long
When time keeps crawling by
The moon is gone behind the clouds
To hide his face and cry
Have you ever seen a robin weep
When leaves have turned to brown?
Like me he`s lost his will to live
I`m so lonesome I could cry
The silence of a falling star
Lights up a purple haze
and as I wonder where you are
I`m so lonesome I could cry
