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.
