Hear the lonesome Wipperwill
He sounds to blue to fly
The midnight train is whining 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 a cloud
To hide its face and cry

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
