Townes Van Zandt - I'm So Lonesome (I Could Cry) Lyrics

Townes Van Zandt Lyrics

"I'm So Lonesome (I Could Cry)"
(originally by Hank Williams)

Have you heard that lonesome whippoorwill?
Well, he sounds too blue to fly
Well, the midnight train is whining low
I'm so lonesome I could cry

Have you ever seen a robin weep
When leaves begin to die?
Well, that means he's lost the will to live
I'm so lonesome I could cry

Have you ever seen a night so long?
When time goes crawling by
Well, the moon just went behind the clouds
I'm so lonesome I could cry

Well, the silence of a fallin' star
Splits through the purple sky
Well, I just lost the one I love
I'm so lonesome I could cry
