i'm so lonesome i could cry

hear the lonesome whippoorwill

he sounds too blue to fly

the midnight train is winding 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

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

i'm so lonesome i could cry
