C                     F
Hear that lonesome whippoorwill,
C               G7
He sounds too blue to fly;
C                  F
The midnight train is whining low,
C                G7
I'm so lonesome I could cry.

C                    F
I've never seen a night so long,
C                   G7
When time goes crawling by;
C                     F
The moon just went behind the clouds,
C                G7
I'm so lonesome I could cry.

C                       F
Did you ever see a robin weep,
C                     G7
When leaves begin to die?
C                   F
That means he's lost the will to live,
C                G7
I'm so lonesome I could cry.

C                     F
The silence of a falling star,
C                  G7
Lights up a purple sky;
C                     F
And as I wonder where you are,
C                G7
I'm so lonesome I could cry.
