[Verse 1]
Am*
Hear that lonesome whippoorwill
                         Am
He seems too blue to fly
    F*                Am*
The midnight train is whining low
                G*      Am*
I'm so lonesome I could cry
 
Am*
I've never known a night so long
                          Am
The time it's crawling by
    F*                Am*
The moon has ducked behind a cloud
              G*      Am
To hang it's head and cry

[Verse 2]
Am*
Have you ever seen the robin weep
                       Am
As leaves begin to die?
     F*                   Am*
That means, he's lost the will to live
                G*      Am 
I'm so lonesome I could cry
 
Am
And the silence of a falling star
                       Am Am7
Lights up a purple sky
    F           Am
And as I wonder where you are
                G       Am
I'm so lonesome I could cry
 
       Am       G       Am
I'm so lonesome I could cry
