Hear the lonesome whipperwill

He sounds too blue to fly

The midnight train is whining lowI′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 its 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 a purple sky

And as I wonder where you are

I'm so lonesome I could 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

Hear the lonesome whipperwill

He sounds too blue to fly

The midnight train is whining low

I′m so lonesome I could cry

I'm so lonesome I could cry

I′m so lonesome I could cry
