Did you hear that lonesome whippoorwill?
   He sounds too blue to fly
   The midnight train is whining low
   And I'm so lonesome I could cry
  
   Did you ever see a night so long
   When time goes crawlin' by?
   The moon just went behind a cloud
   And I'm so lonesome I could cry
  
   Did you ever see a robin weep
   When leaves begin to die?
   That means he's lost the will to live
   And I'm so lonesome I could cry
  
   The silence of a fallin' star
   Lights up a purple sky
   And as I wonder where you are
   I'm so lonesome I could cry
  
   Yeah I-I could cry-eye-eye
   I could cry-eye, eye-eye-eye, I-I could cry-eye
   I could cry-eye, oh-oh-oh-oh
   I-I could cry, I could cry
