Lyrics

Hear

that lone

some whip

poor will, he sounds

too blue

to fly.

The (Bb)mid night train is (F)whin ing low.

I’m so lone some (C7)I could (F)cry.

I’ve nev

er seen

a night

so long, when time

goes crawl

ing by.

The (Bb)moon just went be (F)hind a cloud to so hide its (C7)face and (F)cry.

Did you ev

er see

a rob

in weep when leaves

be gan

to die?

That (Bb)means he’s lost the (F)will to live.

I’m so lone some (C7)I could (F)cry.

The si

lence of

a fall

ing star lights up

a pur

ple sky.

And (Bb)as I won der (F)where you are I’m so lone some (C7)I could (F)cry.

Did you (F)cry.
