"I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry" lyrics - WAYLON JENNINGS

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 a cloud
To hide it's face and cry.

[Instrumental]

Did you ever see a robin weep
When leaves began to die
That means he's lost his 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.

I'm so lonesome I could cry...
