Hear the lonesome whipperwill 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 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.
