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
