Hear that lonesome whippoorwill he sounds to blue to fly that midnight train is whining low I'm so lonesome I could cry l've never seen a night so long when time 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 l'm so lonesome I could cry The silence of a falling star lights up a purple sky and as I wonder where you are l'm so lonesome I could cry
