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
