Hear the lonesome whipperwhil
He sounds too blue to fly
The midnight train is whinning 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 a 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.
