I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry

Hear that lonesome whippoorwill
He sounds too blue to fly.
The midnight light 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 the clouds
To hide its face and cry.

Have you ever seen a robin weep
When leaves begin to die?
Like me, 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.
