Hear  the lonesome whippoorwill
 He sounds too blue to fly
 The midnight  train is whining  low
 I'm So Lonesome I  Could Cry
 I never  seen a night so long
 When times goes crawling by
 The moon  just went behind  a cloud
 To hide it's face  and cry
 Did you ever  see a robin weep
 When leaves began to die?
 Like me  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
