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.
|
|
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.
