The wind is blown around the cabin
I hate to hear that lonesome sound
Cause I'm all alone
Oh and so downhearted
Since my true love, she let me down

Chorus:
I hate to see the sun a sinkin
another night I toss and turn
Another night I dream about her
Another night for who I yearn

Children they are sound a sleepin
They don't know their mother's gone
What will I do when they are wakin'
Can I tell them their mother's wrong?

Chorus

She had no cause go and leave me
for I have never done her wrong
She left our home and the children
Now with another man she's gone

Chorus
