Do you hear the lonesome whippoorwill
He sounds too blue to fly?
The midnight train is whining low
I'm so lonesome I could cry
Did you ever see a guy so low
As time goes rolling by?
The moon just went behind the clouds
I'm so lonesome I could cry
Did you ever see a robin weep
When leaves begin to die?
This means he's lost the will to live
And I'm so lonesome I could cry
The silence of the falling star
Lights up the purple sky
And as I wonder where you are
I'm so lonesome I could cry
Yeah, I could cry
I could cry
I could cry
I could cry
I could cry
I could cry
I could cry
I could cry
