This song by Gaither Vocal Band is a cover of the classic country ballad 'I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry,' originally written by Hank Williams. The lyrics express deep loneliness and sorrow through vivid imagery of nature, such as a whippoorwill, a midnight train, and a weeping robin. While the song is not explicitly Christian in content, it has been performed by the group in a gospel style. However, the lyrics focus solely on human sadness and longing, without any reference to faith, God, or spiritual hope.
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
