- Wynonna Judd - I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry -
Hear the lonesome whiperwill
He sounds too blue to fly
The midnight train is whinning 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 begin to die
That means hes 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
WYNONNA - I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry
Siriusly Sinatra is playing my all-time favorite version of my favorite Hank Williams song - I'M SO LONESOME I COULD CRY - recorded a decade ago by “Wynonna” - not among her latter-day No. 1 hits (listed below). Yes, surely the best lyric (the most powerfully evocative) from country music's single most important composer - who didn't make it to age 30, before dying in the back seat of his chauffeured Cadillac, on the way to his 'next show.'
Each inspired stanza conveys, in so few artless words, the loneliness of nature itself. Really, how could anyone improve on this?
“I've never seen a night so long, when time goes crawling by; the moon just went behind a cloud . . .
“Did you ever see a Robin weep, when leaves begin to die? That means he's lost the will to live . . .
“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.”
[A perfect musical bridge with just a lonesome harmonica reiterating the memorable melody, without need for embellishment]
"Where is she now?" [Her updated Wiki entry opens and closes with this]
Wynonna Ellen Judd (/waɪˈnoʊnə/; born Christina Claire Ciminella; May 30, 1964) is a multi award-winning American country music singer. Her solo albums and singles are all credited to the single name Wynonna. She first rose to fame in the 1980s alongside her mother Naomi in the country music duo The Judds. They released seven albums on Curb Records in addition to 26 singles, of which 14 were number-one hits.
The Judds disbanded in 1991 and Wynonna began a solo career [ ] Her first three singles were "She Is His Only Need", "I Saw the Light," and "No One Else on Earth". All three reached number one on the U.S. country singles charts consecutively, and "To Be Loved by You" also hit number one in 1996, her fourth number one and top ten hit. Three of her albums are certified platinum or higher by the RIAA.
Her most recent recording was Wynonna & the Big Noise, released on February 12, 2016, and she released the single "Cool Ya'" that same month.

Thanks for sharing, Michou Berlin. Celebrated this day at Sinatra Family - Forum - "Siriusly Sinatra" - MY FAVORITE VERSION, YOURS TOO? sinatrafamily.com/forum/showthread.php/50225-My-Favorite-Version-%28yours-too-%29?p=1296016#post1296016
This would be a very emotionally demanding song to sing, I would think. Wynonna sings it brilliantly. I always thought that Hank Williams wrote this about himself.
Beautiful, just beautiful.
Please, check out the version by Keb' Mo' on the Various Artistes tribute to Hank WIlliams "Timeless". He certainly brings out the best and most definitive version of this timeless classic song on a "less is more" principle. I hope anyone reading this enjoys this recommendation. Good on you Keb' !!
Ken mo
No emotion, big zero.
Say what?

Peace of heaven
WOW
