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,
And time goes crawling by.
The moon just went behind the clouds,
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 where you are,
I'm so lonesome, I could cry.
