Standard (EADGBE)

Hear the lonesome whipperwill, he sounds too blue to fly

 The midnight train is whining low, I'm so lonesome I could cry

 I never seen a night so long when times goes crawling by

 The moon just went behind a cloud to hide it's face and cry

CHORUS

 Well maybe the night is cold but together they fade

 Like the shadow that ran up to the hills

 Trying to fix her wings

 There's a saint and a sinner, and forever the missing day

 Where the winners and losers feel the same

 Who knows what tomorrow brings

 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

 The silence of a falling star lights a purple sky

And I wonder where you are, I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry

TO CHORUS than final verse:

Hear the lonesome whipperwill, he sounds too blue to fly

 The midnight train is whining low, I'm so lonesome I could cry

 I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry

 I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry
