hear the lonesome whiperwill 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 it's 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 where you are i'm so lonesome i could cry
