Lyrics
Can you hear that lonesome whippoorwill
He sounds too blue to fly
That midnight train is whining low
I'm so lonesome I could cry
Have you ever seen a night so long
When time just drags on 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
It 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
And as I wonder where you are
I’m so lonesome I could cry
