Wind is blowin' 'round the cabin
I hate to hear that lonesome sound
I'm all alone and so downhearted
Since my true love she ain't around

I hate to see that sun a sinkin'
Another night to toss and turn
Another night to dream about her
Another night for her I yearn

She had no cause to go and leave me
For I had never done her wrong
She left our own little children
Now with another man she's gone

I hate to see that sun a sinkin'
Another night to toss and turn
Another night to dream about her
Another night for her I yearn

Children they are sound asleepin'
Oh they don't know that their mother's gone
What will I do when they awaken?
