Hear that lonesome whippoorwill

He sounds too blue to fly

The midnight train is whining low

I've never seen a night so long

When time goes crawling by

The moon just went behind a cloud
G7                   C
To hide its face and cry

When leaves begin to die

Lights up a purple sky

And as I wonder where you are

I'm so lonesome I could cry
