(Jack Adkins)

Wind is blowin' round the cabin
I hate to hear that lonesome sound
I'm all alone and so downhearted
Since my true love she ain't around.

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 yearn.

--- Banjo Instrumental ---

She had no cause to go and leave me
For I had never done her wrong
She left our own 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 yearn.

--- Mandolin Instrumental ---

Children they are sound asleepin'
Oh, they don't know that their mother's gone
What will I do when they awaken
Can I tell them their mother's wrong.

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 yearn...
