Hear that lonesome whippoorwill
|
He sounds too blue to fly
|
The midnight train is whining low
|
I'm so lonesome I could cry
|
|
Did you ever see a night so long
|
When time goes crawling by
|
The moon just went behind a cloud
|
To hide her face and cry
|
|
The silence of the fallen star
|
Lights up a purple sky
|
And as I wonder where you are
|
I'm so lonesome I could cry
|
|
Did you ever see a robin weep
|
When leaves begin to die
|
That means he's lost the will to live
|
I'm so lonesome I could cry
|
|
Hear that lonesome whippoorwill
|
He sounds too blue to fly
|
The midnight train is whining low
|
I'm so lonesome I could cry
|
|
I'm so lonesome I could cry
|
