The Cowboy Junkiesare a Canadian alt-country/ alternative rockband, formed by three siblings from the Timmins entertainment family. The group formed in Toronto in 1985. The band's name was simply a random choice as they approached their first ever gig, but it has come to perfectly represent their sound. (Some sources may credit Townes Van Zandt's song "Cowboy Junkies Lament" as the source of the band's name, but that song was written especially for Cowboy Junkies several years after they coined the name.) The Trinity Sessionis perhaps their best known record, recorded live in a single day on a single microphone in a church in Toronto. This album also included a unique cover version of Lou Reed's "Sweet Jane".

I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry Lyrics
Cowboy Junkies
Hear the lonesome whippoorwill
His songs too blue to fly
The midnight train is a-winding low
Im so lonesome I could cry
Ive 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 hes lost his will to live
Im so lonesome I could cry
The silence of a falling star
Lights up a purple haze
And as I wonder where you are
Im so lonesome I could cry
