OUT in de night a sad bird moans,
An', oh, but hit's moughty lonely;
Times I kin sing, but mos' I groans,
Fu' oh, but hit's moughty lonely!
Is you sleepin' well dis evenin', Marfy,
deah?
W'en I calls you f'om de cabin, kin you
hyeah?
'T ain't de same ol' place to me,
Nuffin''s lak hit used to be,
W'en I knowed dat you was allus some'ers
near.
