I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry Lyrics
Hear the lonesome whipperwhil
he sounds too blue to fly
the midnight train is whinning 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 a cloud
to hide its face a cry
did you ever see a Robin weep
when leaves begin 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.

This is such a beautiful song. I like the last verse the best. "The silence of a falling star lights up a purple sky..." That's a really powerful image.
such a beautiful song. that third verse is deadly. well they all are. he was one i wish we hadn't lost.
I could listen to this song over and over. Only 29 years old when he died what a loss.

Wow. Just -- wow. Hank Williams' music is so powerful. Nobody like him since.
no one like him since is right, but his grandson, Hank Williams III is sure damn close. check out "5 Shots of Whiskey", "Lonesome For You", or "If The Shoe Fits". all sorts of talent in that family. i`m pretty sure Lucinda Williams is related as well, and she is one of the best female country artists out there.

beautiful song!!
Can you imagine the pain that he was feeling when he wrote this song? I don't want to know. But I thank God that he could describe it.
Does anyone ever notice that when Hank sings this song, he says 'like me he's lost the will to live', and not 'that means...'?
