[Verse 1]
Did you hear that lonesome whip-poor-will?
Sounds too good to fly
And that little night train flying low
And I'm so lonesome I could cry, cry
[Verse 2]
Did you ever see a night so long
When time goes crawling by?
The moon just went behind the clouds
And I'm so lonesome that I feel I could cry, cry, cry
[Bridge]
Did you see, ever see a robin weep
When leaves begin to die?
That means he's lost that will to live
And I'm so lonesome I could cry, let me cry
I said I was holding on, but I'm gonna cry
[Verse 3]
The silence of, of, of a falling star
Lights up a purple sky
And as I wonder just where you are
I'm so lonesome, so lonesomе I could cry, cry
Tryna hold on, but I'm gonna cry
[Outro]
Oh, as I wonder just where you arе
I'm so lonesome, baby, that I could cry
Try to hold on and try to keep going, but I'm gonna cry
