My sweetheart has gone and left me
And my little sister too
I am left alone in sadness
Lord I dont know what to do
All this world is turned against me
Nothing but trouble do I see
There will be no more pleasure
In this whole wide world for me
I am just from East Virginia
With a heart that's brave and true
Now 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 wont you stay
I am dying captain dying
Wont you take those words for me
Take them over to the jail house
Let this whole wide world go free
