I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry [Health & Happiness Show Eight, October 1949] Songtext
von Hank Williams

Folks lookin′ through the mail
Here's a sort of a new song of mine
That I wrote yet not long ago and recorded
Yet we got a lot of requests so far
That could do it for you, it′s one of my favorites
I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry

Hear that lonesome whippoorwill
He sounds too blue to fly
The midnight train is whining low
And 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 begin 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

Friends, here's another mighty important message we want you to listen to
