[Verse 1] Hear that lonesome whippoorwill? He sounds too blue to fly The midnight train is whining low
[Chorus] I'm so lonesome I could cry
[Verse 2] I've never seen a night so long When time goes crawling by The moon just went behind a cloud To hide its face and cry Did you ever see a robin weep When leaves begin to die? That means he's lost his will to live
[Chorus]
[Verse 3] The silence of a falling star Lights up a purple sky And as I wonder where you are
