Lyrics:

Hear that lonesome whippoorwill
He sounds too blue to fly
That 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 the clouds to hide his face and cry

Did you ever see a willow weep
When the 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
