Through that lonesome whippoorwill,
It sounds too blue to fly
The midnight train is whinin' low;
I'm so lonesome I could cry
I've never seen a night so long
Where time goes crawlin' by
The moon just went behind the clouds
To hide its face and cry
Did you ever see a robber leave
Then please begin to die
That means he's lost the will to live
I'm so lonesome I could cry
Silence took me for a tour
Lights up a purple sky
And as I walk to where you are,
I'm so lonesome I could cry
