Did you ever see a robin weep
And as I wonder where you are
I'm so lonesome I could cry
I'm so lonesome I could cry
The moon just went behind a cloud
Lights up a purple sky
And I'm so lonesome I could cry
That means he's lost the will to live
When time goes crawling by?
Did you ever see a night so long
The silence of a fallen star
He sounds too blue to fly
And I'm so lonesome I could cry
Hear that lonesome whippoorwill
When leaves begin to die?
The midnight train is whining low
To hide her face and cry
The midnight train is whining low
