"I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry" lyrics - THE MOUNTAIN GOATS

Hear that lonesome whippoorwill
He sounds too blue to fly
The midnight train is riding low
I'm so lonesome I could cry *sniff*

I've never seen a night so long
When time goes crawling by
The moon just went behind the clouds
To hide its face and die *sniff*

[Interlude]

[sniff, sniff]

Did you ever see a robin weep
When leaves begin to die?
That means he's lost the will to live
I'm so lonesome I could cry

The sign has come, a falling star
Like love, a purple sky
They'll never wonder where you are
I'm so lonesome I could cry *sniff*

[Outro:]
I'm so lonesome I could cry
