This song is a cover, originally performed by Hank Williams Sr. in 1949, but especially inspired by the cover from Elvis Presley.
The lyrics were inspired by Williams' tumultuous relationship with his first wife.
[Verse 1]
Hear the lonesome whippoorwill
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 time goes crawling by
The moon just went behind a cloud
To hide its face and cry
[Chorus]
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 losers feel the same
Who knows what tomorrow brings?
[Verse 2]
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 up a purple sky
And as I wonder where you are
I'm so lonesome, I could cry
[Chorus]
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 losers feel the same
Who knows what tomorrow brings?
[Verse 3]
Hear the lonesome whippoorwill
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
