E                 E7      E
Hear the lonesome whippoorwill
                         E7
He sounds too blue to fly
    A                 E
The midnight train is whining low
                B7      E
I'm so lonesome I could cry

  E            E7       E
I never seen a night so long
                          E7
When time goes crawling by
    A                E
The moon just went behind the clouds
            B7       E   E7
To hide its face and cry

        E          E7    E
Did you ever see a robin weep
                         E7
When leaves began to die?
     A                E
Like me he's lost the will to live
                B7      E   E7
I'm so lonesome I could cry

    E            E7      E
The silence of a falling star
                      E7
Lights up a purple sky
    A           E
And as I wonder where you are
                B7      E
I'm so lonesome I could cry Alternates:
