G  
Hear that lonesome whippoorwill 
                       G7  
He sounds too blue to fly 
     C                   G  
The midnight train is whining low 
                 D7        G  
I'm so lonesome I could cry 
  
I've never seen a night so long 
                        G7  
When time goes crawling by 
     C                  G  
The moon just went behind a cloud 
             D7         G  
To hide its face and cry 
  
Did you ever see a robin weep 
                      G7  
When leaves begin to die  
      C                     G  
That means he's lost the will to live 
                 D7        G  
I'm so lonesome I could cry 
  
The silence of a falling star 
                     G7  
Lights up a purple sky 
     C             G  
And as I wonder where you are 
                 D7       G  
I'm so lonesome I could cry
