D#
Hear the lonesome whippoorwill
He sounds too blue to fly
     G#                D#
The midnight train is whining low
                A#7      D#
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 a robin weep
When leaves begin to die?
That means 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
