Hear that lonesome whippoorwill
He sounds to blue to fly
That midnight train is whining low
I'm so lonesome I could cry
I've never seen a night so long
When times goes crawling by
The moon just went behind the clouds
To hide his face and cry
Did you ever see a willow weep
When the 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 hhhup a purple sky
And as I wonder where you are
I'm so lonesome I could cry
He sounds to blue to fly
That midnight train is whining low
I'm so lonesome I could cry
I've never seen a night so long
When times goes crawling by
The moon just went behind the clouds
To hide his face and cry
Did you ever see a willow weep
When the 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 hhhup a purple sky
And as I wonder where you are
I'm so lonesome I could cry
