[Verse 1]
D                                     G                         D
I’m sad and I’m lonely, my heart it will break
G                                     D                   A7                                     D
My sweetheart loves another, Lord, I wish I was dead!
D                                          G                                     D
My cheeks once were red as the bloom on the rose
G                   D                   A7                                     D
But now they’re as white as the lily that grows

[Verse 2]
D                                     G                                     D
Young ladies, take a warning, take a warning from me
G                   D                     A7                                     D
Don’t waste your affections on a young man so free
D                             G                           D
He’ll hug you, he’ll kiss you, he’ll tell you more lies
G               D                             A7                             D
Than the cross-ties on the railroad or the stars in the sky

[Outro]
D                             G                             D
I’m troubled, I’m troubled, I’m troubled in mind
G       D                             A7                             D
If trouble don’t kill me, I’ll live a long time
