I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry Johnny Cash

"I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry"


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 a cloud,

To hide its face and cry.


Did you ever see a Robin weep,

When leaves begin to die?

That means he's lost his will to live.

I'm so lonesome I could cry.


[Instrumental break]


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.
