Lyrics: Hank Williams
Music: Hank Williams
Played during the Dylan/Dead rehearsals but never at a show. Also played by Jerry Garcia with Doug Sahm and Leon
Russell in 1972.
Hear the lonesome whippoorwill
He sounds to blue to fly
The midnight train is a-winding low
I'm so lonesome I could cry
I've never seen a night so long
When time keeps crawling by
The moon is gone behind the clouds
To hide his face and cry
Have you ever seen a robin weep
When leaves have turned to brown?
Like me he's lost his will to live
I'm so lonesome I could cry
The silence of a falling star
Lights up a purple haze
And yes I wonder where you are
I'm so lonesome I could cry
