I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Do you hear that lonesome whippoorwill?
He sounds too blue to fly
And the midnight train is whining low
I'm so lonesome I could cry

[Verse 2]
I have never seen a night so long
When time goes crawling by
The moon just went behind the cloud
To hide its face and cry
Yes, to cry, yes, to cry
I'm so lonesome I could cry

[Verse 3]
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

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
