Traditional song with floating verses from other traditionals first printed in Carl Sandburg's The American Songbag, pp. 243-245 (1927) where it sourced it as "[F]rom a Dallas, Texas woman who got it from Tennessee folks."
[Verse One]
I'm sad and I'm lonely, my heart it will break;
My sweetheart loves another, Lord, I wish I wuz dead!
My cheeks once were read as the bud on the rose,
But now they are whiter than the lily that grows. - Licensing
