- I'M SO LONESOME I COULD CRY
Swooping by, the whippoorwill cried out
Announces the end of all this melancholy
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 his 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
At the stroke of midnight the whippoorwill sang
Carrying in his song a message of love
In there in the wilderness Seu Ze appeared
Inspiring the rhythm of this song of mine
I'm not alone I'm not lonely
The fallen star hes already risen
Throwing this rhyme in my improvised verse
For this cats who only want to jam
Whoever wants to know, the message, has been
sent and you there watching, get up and dance
