Hear the lonesome whipperwill   He sounds too blue to fly   The midnight train is whining low   I'm so lonesome I could cry      I never seen a night so long   When time goes crawling by   The moon just went behind a cloud   To hide it's face and cry      Well maybe the night is cold   But together they fade   Like the shadow that ran up to the hills   Trying to fix her wings   There's a saint and a sinner, and forever the missing day   Where the winners and losers feel the same   Who knows what tomorrow brings      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 the purple sky   And I wonder where you are   I'm so lonesome I could cry
