Hear that lonesome whiperwill
   E                       (E7)
He sounds too blue to fly
    A                 E
The midnight train is whining low
       E        B7      E    b g♯  b e
I'm so lonesome I could cry

I've never seen a night so long
When time goes crawlin' by
The moon just went behind a cloud
To hide it's face and cry

E  E  A  E  E  B7  E  w/ steel guitar

Did you ever see a robin weep
When leaves begin to die?
That means he's lost the will to live
I'm so lonesome I could cry

E  E  A  E  E  B7  E  w/ violon

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                 (ral.)
