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 bud on the rose
But now they are whiter than 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 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't kill me, I'll live a long time
ПЕРЕВОД
Мне грустно и одиноко, мое сердце скоро разрушится,
Мой любимый любит другйю, Господи, лучше бы я умерла!
Когда-то мои щёки были красными, как бутон розы,
Но теперь они белее лилии, которая ещё растёт.
Молодые дамы, предупреждаю вас, я предупреждаю вас,
Не тратьте свои нервы, почувствуйте свободу!
Они будут обнимать вас и целовать, и будут врать больше,
Чем шпал на железной дороге или звезд на небе.
Я встревожена и обеспокоена, я действительно обеспокоена,
Если проблема во мне, не убивайте меня, я буду жить долго.
My heart it will break
My sweetheart loves another, Lord, I wish I was dead!
My cheeks once
But now they are whiter than the lily that grows
Young ladies, take a warning, take a warning from me
Young man so free
He'll hug you, he'll kiss you, he'll tell you more 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
I’m not happy
TRANSFER
I feel sad and lonely, my heart will soon collapse,
My beloved loves friend, Lord, I wish I died!
Once my cheeks were red as a rosebud,
But now they are whiter than the lily that is still growing.
Young ladies, I warn you, I warn you,
Do not waste your nerves, feel the freedom!
They will hug and kiss you, and they will lie more,
Than sleepers on the railway or the stars in the sky.
I'm alarmed and worried, I'm really worried,
If the problem is in me, do not kill me, I will live a long time.
