Hear that lonesome whippoorwill, he sounds too blue to fly
The midnight train is whining low, I'm so lonesome I could cry
Did you ever seen a night so long when time goes crawling by?
The moon just went behind a cloud 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

Cry, cry, I could cry
