Original lyrics
ENHear that lonesome whippoorwill he sounds too blue to fly
That means he's lost the will to live I'm so lonesome I could cry
Did you ever see a night so slow as time goes draggin' by
The moon just went behind the clouds to hide its face and 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
I'm so lonesome I could cry I'm so lonesome I could cry
