[Verse 1]
Hear that lonesome whippoorwill
He sounds too blue to fly
The midnight train is riding low
I'm so lonesome I could cry *sniff*

[Verse 2]
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 die *sniff*

[Interlude]
*sniff, sniff*

[Verse 3]
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

[Verse 4]
The sign has come, a falling star
Like love, a purple sky
They'll never wonder where you are
I'm so lonesome I could cry *sniff*
[Outro]
I'm so lonesome I could cry
