I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry Lyrics
Dean Martin
Lyrics
words And music by williams
Hear that lonesome winter bird
He sounds too blue to fly
The midnight train is whining low
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
