I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry (1960 version) lyrics

Hear that lonesome whippoorwill
He sounds too blue to fly
The midnight train is winding 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 its face and cry

Did you ever 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 lonesomе, I could cry
