Lyrics:

The night wind whispers softly why did you do her wrong

In the distance there's a coyote hound sounds like his love is gone

My heart is chilled by whipporwill as the train pulls out with you

Listen close and you can almost hear the blues

You can almost hear the blues in the rain that's pouring down

That lovely crackle to the fire seems to have a lonesome sound

As I walk the time away just listen to my shoes

Listen close and you can almost hear the blues

[ guitar ]

The rumble of the river flowing by my cabin door

I could swear I heard it tell me son she won't be back no more

As the night wind whines a coyote pines my heart cries out for you

Listen close and you can almost hear the blues

You can almost hear the blues...

Listen close and you can almost hear the blues
