Hear that lonesome whip-poor-will?
He sounds too blue to fly.
The midnight train is whining low...
I'm so lonesome I could cry.
Did you ever see a night so lone,
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.
Hank Williams
