I'm so Lonesome I Could Cry lyrics

Did you hear that 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.

Yeah, I could cry

I could cry, I could cry

I could cry, oh

I could cry, I could cry.
