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-I could cry-eye-eye
 I could cry-eye, eye-eye-eye, I-I could cry-eye
 I could cry-eye, oh-oh-oh-oh
 I-I could cry, I could cry
