Hear that lonesome whippoonwill
He sounds too blue to fly
The midnight train is whinning 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 his face and cry
And did you ever see a robin weep?
When 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 up a purple sky
And as i wonder where you are
I'm so lonesome i could cry
And I'm so lonesome i could cry
He sounds too blue to fly
The midnight train is whinning 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 his face and cry
And did you ever see a robin weep?
When 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 up a purple sky
And as i wonder where you are
I'm so lonesome i could cry
And I'm so lonesome i could cry
