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,
  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 just where you are
  I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry.
