Hear the 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
Did you ever see a robin weep
When leaves begin to die
That means he’s lost his will to live
And i’m so lonesome i could cry
The silence of a falling star
Lights up a purple sky
As i wonder where you could be tonight
I’m so lonesome i could cry
Oh i’m so lonesome i could cry
Oh i’m so lonesome i could cry
