Lyrics

Hear that lonesome whippoorwill,  
He sounds too blue to fly.  
The midnight train is whining low,  
I'm so lonesome I could cry.  
  
I've never seen a night so long  
When time goes crawling by.  
The moon just went behind the clouds  
To hide its face and cry.  
  
Did you ever see a robin weep,  
When leaves begin to die  
That means 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.
