N.C.                    E  E7
I’m so lonesome I could cry.
[Verse 1]
E                            E7
Hear that lonesome whip-poor-will?

   E          E7      E    E7
He sounds too blue to fly,

    A                 E
The midnight train is whining low,

       E        B7      E   E7
I'm so lonesome I could cry.
[Verse 2]
        E
Did you ever see a Robin weep,

     E               E7
When leaves begin to die?

     A                   E
That means he's lost the will to live,

       E        B7      E   E
I'm so lonesome I could cry.
[Instrumental] E B7 E [Verse 3]
     E
I've never seen a night so long,

     E                  E7
When time goes crawling by,

    A                E
The moon just went behind a cloud,

   E        B7       E   E
To hide its face and cry.
[Verse 4]
    E
The silence of a falling star,

       E           E7
Lights up a purple sky,

    A           E
And as I wonder where you are,

       E        B7      E   E
I'm so lonesome I could cry.
[Outro]
       E        D       E   E7
I'm so lonesome I could cry.
