Audio pulled from my video cover of one of the saddest songs in the world, and one of my favorites. ♥ There is something that makes me feel comforted when I listen to (and sing) this song.
Maybe because I grew up hearing it so much at my Aunt and Uncle's house (they were my babysitters for much of my childhood) My favorite thing was when my uncle would get out his records and play them for me and my sister.
I would lie on the bed and listen for hours, sometimes sitting up to comb his hair, which also was my favorite thing. Sounds weird, but you'd just have to be there to get it.
Lyrics
Hear that lonesome whippoorwill
He sounds too blue to fly
The midnight train is whining 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 the clouds
To hide its face and 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
