One bright moonlit night, the moon shinin bright, when you and I made love Wasn't I true, I say to you, I'm all like a turtle dove. Lonesome is I, I wished I could die, Nobody cares for me Lonesome is I, I wished I could die, Nobody cares for me Down in the valley where the birds would sing Could hear nothing that the birds were singing Down in the valley where the birds could sing Could hear nothing that the birds were singing. 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 moonlit night, the moon shinin bright, when you and I made love Wasn't I true, I say to you, I'm all like a turtle dove Oh my darling, oh my dear, You know you treat me mean Oh my darling, oh my dear, You know you treat me mean Lonesome is I, I wished I could die, Nobody cares for me Lonesome is I, I wished I could die, Nobody cares for me
