The Sad Lover Lyrics - Marty Robbins

Oh I'm sad and I'm lonely for my darlin' 

And I weep like I never did before 

For she's far away from me and I'm dreary as can be 

For I'll never see my darlin' anymore 

Oh, I'd meet her each evenin' in the moonlight 

And we'd wander together by the shore 

Soon she gave her word to me that my blushing bride she'd be 

But I'll never see my darlin' anymore 

For we'd quarreled before we reached the altar 

It was fate brought a stranger to her door 

With his fancy ways and grace in her heart he took my place 

And I'll never see my darlin' anymore 

Oh the postman brought a letter just this mornin' 

It was sent from a distant, foreign shore 

Was a letter edged in black and it said alas, alas 

You will never see your darlin' anymore
