Johnny Cash & Nick Cave I'm So Lonesome I
Could Cry Letras:
[Cash:]
Hear that lonesome whippoorwill?
He sounds too blue to fly.
The midnight train is whining low,
I'm so lonesome I could cry.

[Cave:]
I've never seen a night so long,
When time goes crawlin' by.
The moon just went behind a cloud,
To hide its face and cry.

[Cash:]
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.

[Instrumental break.]

[Both:]
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.

[1] Hank Williams (September 17, 1923 – January 1, 1953) was an
American singer-songwriter and musician who has also become an icon
of country music, and was one of the most influential musicians and
songwriters of the 20th century. A leading pioneer of the honky tonk
style, he had numerous hit records, and his charismatic performances
and succinct compositions increased his fame. His songbook is one of
the backbones of country music, and several of his songs are pop
standards as well. He has been covered in a range of pop, gospel,
blues and rock styles. His premature death at the age of twenty-nine
helped fuel his legend. His son (Randall) Hank Williams, Jr.,
nickname 'Bocephus', his daughter Jett Williams, and his
grandchildren Hank Williams III, Holly Williams, and Hilary Williams
are also professional singers.]

[2] Dr. Nicholas Edward Cave (born 22 September 1957) is an Australian
musician, singer-songwriter, author, screenwriter, and occasional
actor. He is best known for his work in the rock band Nick Cave and
the Bad Seeds, and his fascination with American music and its roots.
He has a reputation, which he disowns, for singing dark, brooding
songs which some listeners regard as depressing. His music is
characterised by intensity, high energy and a wide variety of
influences. He currently lives in Brighton & Hove in England. Over
the years the pronunciation of his name has changed dramatically from
the original Cav-ay to Cavv to Cave. In a 2008 interview with Beat
Magazine, Cave expressed a desire to return to the original
pronunciation.]
