hear the lonesome whiperwill
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 it´s 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
