Hear that lonesome whippoorwill
C Em Gm7 C7
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
C Em Gm7 C7
When time goes crawling by

The moon just went behind a cloud

When leaves begin to die

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
