I'm sad and I'm lonely

I'm sad and I'm lonely - Burl Ives (伯爾·艾夫斯)

I'm sad and I'm lonely

My heart it will break

For my sweetheart loves another

Lord I wish I was dead

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

And you tell you more lies

Than the cross-ties on the railroad

Or the stars in the sky

My cheeks once were red

Like the bloom on the rose

But now they are as

White as the lily that grows

I'll be let me are coming

On the mountain so high

With the black get find me

I'll hate my sad gray

I'm troubled I'm troubled

I'm troubled in my mind

If trouble don't kill me

I'll live a long time

I'm sad and I'm lonely

My heart it will break

For my sweetheart loves another

Lord I wish I was dead
