Hear that lone-some Whip-per-will,
He sounds to blue to fly.
The mid-night train is whin-ing low.
I'm so lone-some I could cry.
Verse 2
I've nev-er seen a night so long,
When time goes crawl-ing by.
The moon just went be-hind the clouds,
to hide his face and cry.
Verse 3
Did you ev-er see a Rob-in weep,
When leaves be-gin to die?
That means he's lost the will to live.
I'm so lone-some I could cry.
Verse 4
The sil-ence of a fall-ing star
Lights up a pur-ple sky.
And as I won-der where you are,
I'm so lone-some I could cry.
