Hank Williams – I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry lyrics

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 the clouds
To hide its face and cry
Did you ever see a robin weep
When leaves began to die?
Like me, he’s lost the will to live
I’m so lonesome I could cry
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

  1. Sweet! I had read that Hank did all his recordings at the former Castle Studio, in Nashville! Never heard of Herzog. Thanks for providing the missing pieces.
