Chorus:
Lonesome is I, I wished I could die
Nobody cares for me!
Lonesome is I, I wished I could die
Nobody cares for me!
One bright moon night, the moon shining bright
When you and I made love—
Your love was not true, I’ll say that to you
I’m off like a turtle dove.
[Chorus]
Oh my darling, oh my dear
How you treat me mean!
Oh my darling, oh my dear
-mumbling-
[Chorus]
