I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry Lyrics - Bill Monroe

Hear that lonesome whippoorwill 

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 

When time goes crawling by 

The moon just went behind the clouds 

To hide its face and cry 

Did you ever hear a robin weep 

When leaves begin to die? 

That means he's lost the will to live 

I'm so lonesome, I could cry 

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
