(Jack Adkins)

The wind is blowin' 'round my cabin
I hate to hear that mournful sound
I'm all alone and so downhearted
Since my true love 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'll yearn.

--- Instrumental ---

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.

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.

--- Instrumental ---

The children, they are sound 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?

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...
