Oh-oh-oh...

I'm so lonesome I could cry.

Hear that lonesome whippoorwill

He sounds too blue to fly

The midnight train is whining low

I'm so lonesome I could cry.

I've never seen a night so long

When time goes crawling by

The moon just went behind the clouds

To hide its face and cry.

Did you ever see a robin weep

When leaves began to die?

Like me, 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.

Yes, I'm so lonesome I could cry.
