I'm sad and I'm lonely, my heart it will breakMy sweetheart loves another, Lord, I wish I was dead!My cheeks once were red as the bloom on the roseBut now they are as white as the lily that growsYoung ladies, take a warning, take a warning from meDon't waste your affections on a young man so freeHe'll hug you, he'll kiss you, he'll tell you more liesThan the cross-ties on the railroad or the stars in the skyI'm troubled, I'm troubled, I'm troubled in mindIf trouble don't kill me, I'll live a long time
