I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry

by Hank Williams            [3/4 time] 

C

Hear that lonesome whippoorwill

                          C7

He sounds too blue to fly

    F                 C

The midnight train is whining low

                G7      C

I'm so lonesome I could cry

I've never seen a night so long

                           C7

When time goes crawling by

    F                C

The moon just went behind a cloud

            G7       C

To hide its face and cry

Did you ever see a robin weep

                         C7

When leaves begin to die 

     F                   C

That means he's lost the will to live

                G7      C

I'm so lonesome I could cry

The silence of a falling star

                       C7

Lights up a purple sky

    F           C

And as I wonder where you are

                G7      C
