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