10/22/13 - NNHS Newsletter - I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry
“We
are lonesome animals. We spend all our life trying to be less lonesome.
-
John Steinbeck |
Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
It's hard to believe I've
never used this sad old song from 1949 before; you know how much I love sad old
songs.
BONUS - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WkztDzpTHKA - I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry - Hank Williams, 1949
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I%27m_So_Lonesome_I_Could_Cry:
| "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry" is a song written and recorded
by
American
country music singer-songwriter
Hank Williams in 1949. 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
Written and recorded by
Hank Williams
(17 Sept 1923 – 01 Jan 1953),
1949
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 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 falling star
Lights up a purple sky.
And as I wonder where you are
I'm so lonesome I could cry.
