The wind is blowing 'round the cabin

I hate to hear that lonesome sound

I'm all alone and so down hearted

Since my true love she ain't around



   I hate to see the sun a sinking

   Another night to toss and turn

   Another night to dream about her

   Another night for her I yearn



She had no cause to go and leave me

For I had never done her wrong

She left our home and little children 

And with another she has gone



The children they are soundly sleeping

No they don't know that their mother's gone

What can I do when they awaken

I can't tell them that their mother's wrong
