I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry – Al Green (originally by Hank Williams)

Did you hear that lonesome whippoorwill
He sounds too good to fly
The midnight train whining low
I’m so lonesome I could cry, cry

Did you ever seen a night so long
When time goes crawling by
The moon just went behind a cloud
And I’m so lonesome that I feel I could cry, I could cry

Did you see, ever see a robin weep
When leaves begin to die?
Like me he’s lost the will to live
And I’m so lonesome I could cry
[?] I could cry

The silence of a falling star
Lights up a purple sky
And as I wonder, wonder where you are
I’m so lonesome I could cry, cry, I could cry

And as I wonder, wonder where you are
I’m so lonesome I could cry
If you let me, oh no
[?]
I wonder where you are
I’m so lonesome I could cry
It seems to me
I’m so lonesome I could cry
I could cry, I could cry
