I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry - Hank Williams - Acoutsic Cover (Leslie Stroz)

Elvis Presley said this was the saddest song he'd ever heard and I agree... Written by Hank Williams in 1949 and covered by everyone from Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley and Wynona Judd to Bob Dylan and Cowboy Junkies it's a cathartic one to play. Please be kind... I'm just a girl with her guitar :)

So Lonesome I Could Cry Lyrics:

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 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.

Agreed... on your opinion of the song... but there are some I cannot even play sometimes... By the way: sweet voice and talented guitar playing young lady...

I'm in a place to hear this song played like that right at THIS moment...

Thank you...

Thanks so much. I live very rural by RR tracks and sing this often to my dog. Leslie, your style is something I'm trying to adapt somewhat.
