This version is Cash’s first cover of Hank Williams' signature song.
Cash also recorded the song for 2002’s American IV: The Man Comes Around at the suggestion of Nick Cave, who appears on that version.
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
I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry (1960 version) was written by Hank Williams.
I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry (1960 version) was produced by Don Law & Frank Jones.
