[Verse 1]
The wind is blowin' around 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-sinkin'
Another night to toss and turn
Another night to dream about her
Another night, for her, I'll yearn

[Verse 2]
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]
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 yearn

[Verse 3]
The children, they are soundly sleepin'
They don't know that their mother's gone
What will I do when they awaken?
Can I tell them of their mother's wrong?
[Chorus]
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 yearn
