        Bb                         F
Did you hear that lonesome whippoorwill?
   Bb                 Fm  F Bb
He sounds too blue to fly.
    Eb                Bb      Gm7
The midnight train is winding low.

I'm so lonesome I could cry.

I've never seen a night so long..when time 
              Fm
goes crawlin' by?
Bb  Eb               Bb     Gm7
The moon just went behind a cloud.

To hide its face and cry.
