Did you hear that lonesome whippoorwill? He sounds too blue to fly The midnight train is whining low And I'm so lonesome I could cry Did you ever see a night so long When time goes crawlin' by? The moon just went behind a cloud And I'm so lonesome I could cry Did you ever see a robin weep When leaves begin to die? That means he's lost the will to live And I'm so lonesome I could cry The silence of a fallin' star Lights up a purple sky And as I wonder where you are I'm so lonesome I could cry Yeah I-I could cry-eye-eye I could cry-eye, eye-eye-eye, I-I could cry-eye I could cry-eye, oh-oh-oh-oh I-I could cry, I could cry
