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 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
