Introduction:
F G C
C
The wind is blowing 'round my cabin
F G C
I hate to hear that lonesome sound
C
I'm all alone and so downhearted
F G C
Since my true love ain't around
* * *CHORUS
C
I hate to see that sun a-sinking
F G C
Another night to toss and turn
C
Another night to dream about her
F G C
Another night for her I'll yearn
* * *
C
She had no cause to go and leave me
F G C
For I had never done her wrong
C
She left her home and little children
F G C
Now with another man she's gone
* * *CHORUS * * *
C
The children they are soundly sleeping
F G C
They don't know their mother's gone
C
What will I do when they awaken
F G C
And I tell them of their mother's wrong
* *CHORUS * *
