I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry - Hank Williams & The Drifting Cowboys

Did you hear that lonesome whippoorwill He sounds too blue to fly That midnight train rides alone I'm so lonesome I could cry Did you ever see a night so long When time goes crawling by The moon just went behind the cloud I'm so lonesome I could cry Did you ever see a robin weep When leaves begin to die? It means he's lost the will to live I'm so lonesome I could cry The silence of the falling stars Lights up a purple sky And as I wonder where you are I'm so lonesome I could cry And as I wonder where you are I'm so lonesome I could cry

I hear that lonesome whippoorwill Sounds too blue to fly That 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 his face and cry, alright Did you ever see a robin weep When leaves begin to die? That means he's lost the will to live He's so lonesome he could cry The silence of a falling star (falling star) Lights up a purple sky (ooh-ooh) And as I wonder where you are I'm so lonesome I could cry Wa-wa, wa-wa, wa-wa-wa-wa Wa-wa, wa-wa, wa-wa-wa-wa I wonder where you are tonight I'm so lonesome I could cry Wa-wa, wa-wa, wa-wa-wa-wa Wa-wa, wa-wa, wa-wa-wa-wa I wonder where you are tonight I'm so lonesome I could cry I wonder where you are tonight I'm so lonesome I could cry I wonder where you are tonight I'm so lonesome I could cry, wa-wa

Did you hear that lonesome Whippoorwill? He sounds too blue to fly The midnight train is whining low And I'm so lonesome, I could cry Did you ever see a night so long When time goes crawlin' by The moon just went behind a cloud And I'm so lonesome, I could cry Did you ever see a Robin weep When leaves begin to die? That means he's lost the will to live And I'm so lonesome, I could cry The silence of a fallin' star Lights up a purple sky And as I wonder where you are? I'm so lonesome, I could cry Yeah, I could cry I could cry, I could cry I could cry, and I could cry, I could cry

Oh, sometimes I could cry Woman I could just lay down and die Oh, sometimes I could cry Woman I could just lay down and die Well if you listen to the story now My pal Buddy will tell you the reason why My baby needs and she love me In the evenin' when I come home Whoa, my baby needs and she love me In the evenin' when I come home, oh yes But seems like everything I do Everything I do is wrong I used to have plenty money The finest clothes in town Nothin' ever got in my way until You come to get me down I'm say'n mercy, mercy, mercy baby Ooh have mercy on me, oh yes I'll always love you darlin' No matter what you do Now listen closely baby I'll try to change my ways Don't go kickin' up trumped up troubles Worry all my days Mercy mercy mercy baby Good God mercy be all around Yes you know I'll be right there When the grave digger laid her down

I'm a rollin' stone all alone and lost For a life of sin, I have paid the cost When I pass by, all the people say Just another guy on the lost highway Just a deck of cards and a jug of wine And a woman's lies makes a life like mine Oh the day we met, I went astray I started rolling down that lost highway I was just a lad, nearly 22 Neither good nor bad, just a kid like you And now I'm lost, too late to pray Lord, I take a cost, on the lost highway Now boys don't start to ramblin' round On this road of sin, are you sorrow-bound? Take my advice or you'll curse the day You started rollin' down that lost highway

I have the invitation that you sent me You wanted me to see you change your name I couldn't stand to see you wed another But dear I hope you're happy just the same Wedding bells are ringing in the chapel That should be ringing out for you and me Down the aisle with someone else you're walking Those wedding bell will never ring for me I planned a little cottage in the valley I even bought a little band of gold I thought some day I'd place it on your finger But now the future looks so dark and cold Wedding bells are ringing in the chapel I hear the children laughing out with glee At home alone I hang my head in sorrow Those wedding bells will never ring for me I fancy that I see a bunch of roses A blossom from an orange tree in your hair And while the organ plays I love you truly Please let me pretend that I am there Wedding bells are ringing in the chapel Ever since the day you set me free I knew someday that you would wed another But wedding bells will never ring for me

I could say it's over now That I was glad to see you go I could hate you for the way I'm feelin' My lips could tell a lie, but my heart would know It's a sin to make me cry When you know I love you so I could tell my heart that I don't miss you My lips could tell a lie, but my heart would know I could give you all the blame But I'm sure the truth would show I could tell this world I've found a new love My lips could tell a lie, but my heart would know I can't fool my cryin' heart 'Cause it knows I need you so I could tell my heart I'm glad we parted My lips could tell a lie, but my heart would know

Once I was happy as I could be But I let a girl make a fool of me And ever since she let me down The blues come around when the sun goes down Oh, the blues come around Oh, the blues come around Lord, the blues come around Every evenin' when the sun goes down As long as the sun is in the sky These doggone blues never make me cry But ever since she left this town The blues come around when the sun goes down Oh, the blues come around Oh, the blues come around Lord, the blues come around Every evenin' when the sun goes down I built my castles very high And then she went and said goodbye And ever since she tore 'em down The blues come around when the sun goes down Oh, the blues come around Oh, the blues come around Lord, the blues come around Every evenin' when the sun goes down Once she called me all her own But now she's gone and I'm alone And every evenin', I'm sorrow bound 'Cause the blues come around when the sun goes down Oh, the blues come around Oh, the blues come around Lord, the blues come around Every evenin' when the sun goes down Oh, the blues come around Yeah, the blues come around Lord, the blues come around Every evenin' when the sun goes down
