I'm Sad and I'm Lonely

I’m sad and I’m lonely, my heart it will break
For my sweetheart loves another, Lord, I wish I was dead
Young ladies, take a warnin', take a warnin' from me
Don’t waste your affection on a young man so free
Because he’ll hug you and he’ll kiss you and he’ll tell you more lies
Than the cross-ties on the railroad or the stars in the sky
My cheeks once were red like the red red rose
But now they are white as the lily that grows
I’ll build me a cabin on the mountain so high
Where the blackbird can’t find me or hear my sad cry
I’m troubled, yes I’m troubled;
I’m troubled in mind
If trouble don’t kill me, I’ll live a long time
I’m sad and I’m lonely, my heart it will break
For my sweetheart loves another, Lord, I wish I was dead
