Song language: English
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 |
