Tickets went on sale for a Cowboy Junkies show at an 8000 seat venue in Portland, ME.. I instantly got two. It sold out in a day. This was 1996…maybe, and summer. Well. 3 weeks before the concert the venue was condemned by the city for structural issues. Instead of canceling, Margot and her brothers changed venues to the biggest church in town…sat 500. They did some kind of lottery, and I was a winner. It was a second date with a wonderful gal I had recently met. We were seated in the balcony directly above the pulpit/stage. It was acoustically perfect. The crowd was mesmerized. Hands down the best show I’ve ever seen. It was spiritual. I might be biased because that beautiful gal is the mother of my 4 children and grandma of 5. We fell in love that night.
Had a date with a girl to see them in Philadelphia around the same time. After the show we bought the CD and hung out with the band and they autographed the CD - great night. We broke up later and she kept the CD...
@@omych97 Elvis Presleys isn't an original. If it weren't for Hank Williams Elvis never would have sung this song. Don't get me wrong Elvis is a great entertainer but he's only mimicking the original.
Forgot about this band until my wife mentioned them tonight. Having fun listening and I appreciate the songs more now I'm getting old! So much emotion, making me cry a little and I'm not even sad. What a great treat, its like I've discovered a new band.
Listening to this late at night on my discman, summer of 1997, in the hills between Paso Robles and Cambria CA, where I was summer camp counselor at a camp with cots out under the trees and stars. Watching constellations wheel overhead, this sad, gorgeous music in my ears.
I love the group. I saw them on their "The Trinity Session" tour in a church in Frankfurt, Germany. a few days after a friend of mine died in a motorcycle accident. it was the first time I ever cried in a concert
I haven't inherited a rather large collection of personal photographs professional quality recordings cassette CD bootleg and store-bought and more memorabilia of the Cowboy Junkies would you be interested in any? It's all for sale
I was at yr age when I listen the cover of this song by Donny Osmond. I love this great song ever since and listen to many cover by great artists such as Elvis, Glen Campbell, Skeeter Davis, Johnny Cash until Norah Jones and of course the original artist Hank Williams.
My young man or woman , It shows how mature you are. This song was written by the great Hank Williams, a very long time ago. He died in a car wreak, way before his time. This is supposed to be country, but whatever the category ; it is one of the greatest songs ever written in America. Today it would be called “Americana.” Keep that open mind of yours.
To Cowboy Junkies. One of the greats if not the greatest song from the great Hank Williams. I love that you submitted the lyrics but why not give him credit? Is it your song, or is it Hank Williams’?
Hear the lonesome whippoorwill His song's too blue to fly The midnight train is a-winding low I'm so lonesome I could cry I've never seen a night so long When time keeps crawling by The moon is gone behind the clouds To hide his face and cry Have you ever seen a robin weep When leaves have turned to brown? Like me he's lost his will to live I'm so lonesome I could cry The silence of a falling star Lights up a purple haze And as I wonder where you are I'm so lonesome I could cry
J'adore ... je n'ai pas vraiment retrouvé l'inteprêtre diffusée dans le film de columbo " l'enterrement de Madame Columbo" mais de toutes façons j'adore ....
Great job by the vocalist. It seems though the guitarist doesn’t understand the register of the song. Continually changing the root of the piece. Lousy job!!!
Strange, blurry sound gives this a dreamlike quality. For me, it lacks the direct, heartbroken emotion that Jerry Lee Lewis gives to it. However, he is in a class of his own for that. Initially I didna like this at all. However, it does have something to it, and it is very different. Carlos Gonzalez, I deleted my original criticism but that also deleted your reply and my follow-up comment. You made me listen again, and re-think.

The number of artist who have done this song is a testament to just how great the song is.
Hank Williams was a genius.
Unbelievable he died before 30.
“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”. What a beautiful lyric.
Elvis Presley's is the best version

@@dpz9872 If it wasn't for Elvis, many, many songs would go unnoticed in the world. Elvis made them famous and he's always sung the best versions 😊👑
That voice is truly the sound of silk.

You ain’t alone
I never forget about the Cowboy Junkies. I want to be Margo Timmons when I grow up.
Memories... brings me back to my college days. 1991 I believe was when I discovered this album. Sweet, sweet memories.
Me too
Me three
Me four ❤❤❤
Me Tarzan
Me Five!
One of the saddest country tunes ever written and done masterfully here.Ive long been a fan.Long may they run.
More like crying so hard I can't breathe. Holy cow.

What a beautiful comment, greetings from a Greek sky..
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 - Hiram King Williams!
Absolutely. Hank Williams.
Margo's Magic Voice flies out of time.....
Soft and easy vocals are so gentle and sweet
so many versions of this song- this is my favourite by far
Except maybe Hank Williams
Haunting yet so beautiful
I lose it after the third stanza.
God bless you, Hank Williams.
Come here because of Rock Chicks. Sweet song!!
deflicious1 me too!

Who?
Oh wow... now this is a incredible cover of the most beautiful song .. I am just blown away with this one
The pedal steel solo might be the saddest noise ever made.
I love the group.
I saw them on their "The Trinity Session" tour in a church in Frankfurt, Germany. a few days after a friend of mine died in a motorcycle accident. it was the first time I ever cried in a concert
This is pure gospel. And I'd like to spread the word. Great!
Awesome job this is pure fire 🔥 I will definitely tell everyone about ya 🇱🇷🙏🏻🥃😉

Be sure to tell them that Hank Williams wrote this beautiful son.
Sooooo mellow, and strung out.
This is a beautiful version of a classic 💖💖💖 love it.
I think this might be my favorite song. It’s up there
This song helped get me through a couple rough break ups back in the day . Thanks CJs!
Thank Hank Williams.
WOW ... JUST W.O.W 🔊
Reminds me of our family dinners at the cottage we just bought
This is country i like,them and maybe Johnny Cash.
Damn I love talent!
Is it normal If I enjoy listening to this at 14

Don't know if its normal but its really cool!
If it's normal for you.
Then DO IT 😎🤘🤘🙏
It means you have an open mind and there is nothing wrong with that

Still beautiful - in fact, more so.

Hank Williams.

Heart hurts bad tonight
Hear the lonesome whippoorwill
His song's too blue to fly
The midnight train is a-winding low
I'm so lonesome I could cry
I've never seen a night so long
When time keeps crawling by
The moon is gone behind the clouds
To hide his face and cry
Have you ever seen a robin weep
When leaves have turned to brown?
Like me he's lost his will to live
I'm so lonesome I could cry
The silence of a falling star
Lights up a purple haze
And as I wonder where you are
I'm so lonesome I could cry
Thank you.
Is this the version from columbo?
It looks that the version we can hear in Rest In Peace Mrs Columbo (S09e04).
manages to sound even more broken down and distraught than the original.
I've heard people say they saw Hank Williams emerge from that thang crash landed in ROSWELL.👽👽👽
I thought Jimmie Dale had the most lonesome cover...
I may have been wrong.
Sorry Angel

It’s not disrespectful to tell the truth. Great vocalist. Lousy guitarist. Plane and simple.
Plain not plane
Not concerned with their grammar as so much their taste. Bad guitarist?! Please sit down. The adults are trying to listen
