Did you hear the lonesome whippoorwill? He sounds too blue to fly The midnight train Is whining low And I'm so lonesome I could cry Did you ever see A night so long When time goes crawlin' by? The moon just went Behind a cloud And I'm so lonesome I could cry Did you ever see A robin weep When leaves begin to die? That means he's lost The will to live And I'm so lonesome I could cry The silence of A fallin' star Lights up a purple sky And as I wonder where you are I'm so lonesome I could cry
