**Chords:**
C F C G7
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.
