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
[ strings ]
(I`m so lonesome I could 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
I`m so lonesome I could cry
