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 begin to die?
|
That means he's lost his will to live.
|
I'm so lonesome I could cry.
|
|
[Instrumental break]
|
|
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.
|
I'm so lonesome I could cry.
|
