The song about loneliness was largely inspired by his troubled relationship with wife Audrey Sheppard. With evocative lyrics, such as the opening lines 'Hear that lonesome whip-poor-will/He sounds too blue to fly, the song has been covered by a wide range of musicians. Rolling Stone ranked it #111 on their list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. It's the second oldest song on the list, and one of only two from the 1940s." "'I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry" (as sung by Cathy Fink) Hear that lonesome whippoorwill He sounds too blue to fly. The midnight train is whining low I'm so lonesome I could cry. Did you ever see 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 began to die? That means he's lost the will to live I'm so lonesome I could cry. The silence of a starless night Lights up a purple sky. And as I wonder where you are I'm so lonesome I could cry.
