Lyrics:
My sweetheart has gone and left me And my little sisters, too And I'm left alone in sadness Lord, I don't know what to do
All this world has turned against me Nothing but trouble do I see There will be no more pleasure In this whole wide world for me
[INSTRUMENTAL BREAK]
Oh, I am just from East Virginia With a heart so brave and true And I learned to love a maiden With eyes of heavenly blue
That same day I packed my suitcase And I started to go away But she met me at the station Saying, darling, won't you stay
[INSTRUMENTAL BREAK]
Oh, I am dying, Captain, dying Won't you take these words for me Take them over to the jailhouse Let this whole wide world go free
