I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry
Hank Williams, 1949· Songs Well-Known in America · p.166
E E7
Hear the lonesome whippoorwill. He sounds too blue to fly
A E B7 E
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 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.
