Sad And Lonely

DJ Shadow





I'm sad and I'm lonely,
my heart it will break;
My sweetheart loves another,
Lord, I wish I wuz dead!
My cheeks once were read
as the bud on the rose,
But now they are whiter
than the lily that grows.


Young ladies, tak' wahnin',
tak' a wahnin' 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 mo' lies,
Than the cross-ties on the railroad
 or the stars in the sky
I'm troubled,
 I'm troubled,
I'm troubled in mind;
If trouble don' kill me,
I'll live a long time.
