JOHNNY CASH LYRICS



"I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry"


Hear that lonesome whippoorwill?

He sounds too blue to fly.

The midnight train is whining low: 

I'm so lonesome I could cry.



I've never seen a night so long,

When time goes crawling by.

The moon just went behind a cloud,

To hide its face and cry.



Did you ever see a Robin weep,

When leaves begin to die?

That means he's lost his will to live.

I'm so lonesome I could cry.



[Instrumental break]



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.
