Hear {THAT} lonesome whippoorwill
  He sounds too blue to fly
  The midnight train is whining 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
  
  Did you ever see a robin weep?
  When leaves begin to die
  Like me 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
