I'm Sad and I'm Lonely

I’m sad and I’m lonely, my heart it will break

My sweetheart loves another, Lord, I wish I was dead!

My cheeks once were red as the bloom on the rose

But now they’re as white as the lily that grows

Young ladies, take a warning, take a warning from me

Don’t waste your affections on a young man so free

He’ll hug you, he’ll kiss you, he’ll tell you more lies

Than the crossties on the railroad or the stars in the sky

I’m troubled, I’m troubled, I’m troubled in mind

If trouble don’t kill me, I’ll live a long time
