What a sad and lonely night
What a sad and lonely moon
If feel I want to weep
With this sad and lonely tune.

Oh where is my loving mate
He promised to come home soon
To share with me this evening
To share this sad lonely tune.

The night is sneering at me
My heart is torn and strewn
My soul is leaving my body
With the end of this tune.

Once again I am alone
All alone with this sad moon
My living soul is now dead
As this sad and lonely tune.
