Hear the lonesome whiperwill He sounds too blue to fly The midnight train is whining low I'm so lonesome I could cry Have you ever seen a night so long? When time goes crawling by The moon just went behind a cloud To hide it's tears 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 where you are I'm so lonesome I could cry
