Hear the lonesome whipperwill
 He sounds too blue to fly
 The midnight train is whining low
 I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry

 I never seen a night so long
 When times goes crawling by
 The moon just went behind a cloud
 To hide it's face and cry

 Well maybe the night is cold
 But together they fade
 Like the shadow that ran up to the hills
 Trying to fix her wings
 There's a saint and a sinner
 And forever the missing day
 Where the winners and the losers feel the same
 Who knows what tomorrow brings

 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 a purple sky
 And I wonder where you are
 I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry

 Well maybe the night is cold
 But together they fade
 Like the shadow that ran up to the hills
 Trying to fix her wings
 There's a saint and a sinner
 And forever the missing day
 Where the winners and the losers feel the same
 Who knows what tomorrow brings

 Hear the lonesome whipperwill
 He sounds too blue to fly
 The midnight train is whining low
 I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry
 I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry
 I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry
