[1] The wind is blowin' around my cabin
I hate to [4] hear [5] that mournful [1] sound
I'm all alone and so down-hearted
Since my true [4] love, [5] she ain't a-[1]-round

[1] I hate to see that sun a-sinking
Another [4] night [5] to toss and [1] turn
Another night to dream about her
Another [4] night [5] for her I [1] yearn

She had no cause to go and leave me
For I had never done her wrong
She left her home and little children
Out with another man she's gone

The children they are soundl a-sleepin'
They don't know their mother's gone
What will I do when they awaken
Can I tell them of their mother's wrong
