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.
