[Originally by Hank Williams Sr.]



Hear the lonesome whippoorwill

He sounds too blue to fly

The midnight train is winding 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 a cloud

To hide its face and 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

I'm so lonesome I could cry

I'm so lonesome I could cry
