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 the night so long
When time just goes crawling by
To hide its face and cry

Well, the silence of a falling star
Lights up the purple sky
As I wonder where you are
I'm so lonesome I could cry
Yes, I'm so lonesome I could cry
