5    4    5    4    5   4    3
Hear that lone-some Whip-per-will,
 4   5     4   5   4  3
He sounds to blue to fly.
 5   -5   -5    -5  -5   6   5   3
The mid-night train is whin-ing low.
 5  -5   6    5  -4  -4   4 
I'm so lone-some I could cry.
 
Verse 2:
  4   5   4   5  4   5    4   3
I've nev-er seen a night so long,
  4    5    4    5    4   3
When time goes crawl-ing by.
 5   -5   -5   -5  -5   6   5     3
The moon just went be-hind the clouds,
 5   6   5   -4   -4  4 
to hide his face and cry.

Verse 3:
 4   4   5  4  5  4  5   4   3
Did you ev-er see a Rob-in weep,
  4     5    4  5   4  3
When leaves be-gin to die?
  5    -5   -5   -5   -5   6   5   3
That means he's lost the will to live.
 5  -5   6    5  -4  -4   4
I'm so lone-some I could cry.

Verse 4:
 4   5   4    5 4  5    4    3
The sil-ence of a fall-ing star
  4     5 4  5   4   3
Lights up a pur-ple sky.
 5  -5 -5 -5  -5   6    5   3
And as I won-der where you are,
 5  -5   6    5  -4  -4   4 
I'm so lone-some I could cry.
