I'm sad and I'm lonely
My poor heart will break
My sweetheart loves another
Lord, I wished I was dead.

My cheeks once were red
As the buds on a rose
But now they are whiter
Than the lillies that grow.

Young ladies take warning
Take warning from me
Don't place your affections
On a young man so free.

He'll hug you and kiss you
He'll tell you more lies
Than the cross-ties on a railroad
Or the stars in the skies.

Well I'll build me a cabin
In the mountain so high
Where the wild birds can't see me
Nor hear my sad cry.

I'm sad and I'm lonely
My poor heart will break
My sweetheart loves another
Lord, I wished I was dead.
