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
i'm so lonesome i could cry
