(Elvis Presley version) Hear that lonesome winter bird
(Hank Williams version) Hear that lonesome whipporrwill
He sounds too blue to fly
The midnight train is whining low
I'm so lonesome I could cry

(this verse is not included in the Elvis Presley version)
I've never seen a night so long,
When time goes crawling by;
The moon just went behind a cloud;
I'm so lonesome I could cry.

Did you ever see a robin weep
When leaves began to die
That means 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
I'm so lonesome I could cry
