I'm sad and i'm lonely, my heart it will break My sweetheart loves another, lord, i wish i was dead! My cheeks once were red as the bloom on the rose But now they are whiter than the lily that grows
Young ladies, take a warning, take a warning from me Don't waste your affections on a young man so free He'll hug you, he'll kiss you, he'll tell you more lies Than the cross-ties on the railroad or the stars in the sky
I'm troubled, i'm troubled, i'm troubled in mind If trouble don't kill me, i'll live a long time
