I hate to hear that lonesome sound
I'm all alone and so downhearted
Since my true love ain't around
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
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
I hate to see that sun a -sinkin'
Another night to toss and turn
Another night to dream about her
Another night for her I'll
The children they are soundly sleepin'
They don't know their mother's gone
What will I do when they awaken?
Can I tell them of the love that's wrong?
I hate to see that sun a -sinking
Another night to toss and turn
Another night to dream about her,
Another night for her out here,
Another night for her out here.
