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?

Can I tell them their mother's wrong?



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
