"I'm so lonesome....

I could cry .."
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 a cloud
To hide its face and 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"
Words and music by Hank Williams
... From Rolling Stone:
12-09-2004
Produced by: Fred Rose
Released: Nov. '49 on Sterling
Charts: Did not chart
' -- a vision of lonesome Americana over a steady beat -- was Williams' favorite out of all the songs he wrote. But he worried that the lyrics about weeping robins and falling stars were too artsy for his rural audience, which might explain why the track was relegated to the B side of "My Bucket's Got a Hole in It."
As a result, "Lonesome" never caught much attention, but after Williams' death it came to symbolize his whiskey-soaked life, and artists such as Willie Nelson resurrected it, setting the mood for much of the country music that followed."
