i'm so lonseome i could cry

hear the lonesome whiperwill

he sounds too blue to fly

the midnight train is whining low

im so lonesome i could cry

ive never seen a night so long

when time goes crawling by

the moon just went behind a cloud

to hide it's face and 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

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
