Lyrics

I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry

Hear that lonesome whippoorwill

Sounds too blue to fly

The midnight train is whinin' low

And I'm so lonesome I could cry

Have you ever seen a robin weep

When leaves begin to die

That means he's lost the will to live

And I'm so lonesome I could cry

The silence of a falling star

Lights up a purple sky

The moon just went behind the clouds

To hide its face and cry

Well, I never seen a night so long

When time comes crawling by

And as I wonder where you are

I'm so lonesome I could cry

No, I never seen a night so long

When time comes crawling by

And as I wonder where you are

I'm so lonesome I could cry

I'm so lonesome I could cry
