Every Night When The Sun Goes In
* * *
Every night when the sun goes in
Every night when the sun goes in
Every night when the sun goes in
I hang down my head, and mournful cry.
True love don't weep, true love don't mourn,
True love don't weep, true love don't mourn,
True love don't weep, nor mourn for me,
I'm going away to Marble Town.
I wish to the Lord that train would come,
I wish to the Lord that train would come,
I wish to the Lord that train would come,
to take me back where I come from.
It's once my apron's hung down low,
He'll follow me through sleet and snow.
It's now my apron's to my chin
He'll face my door, but won't come in.
O how I wish my babe was born
sitting on his daddy's knee
and me, poor girl, was dead and gone
with the green grass growing over me
True love don't weep, true love don't mourn,
True love don't weep, true love don't mourn,
True love don't weep, nor mourn for me,
I'm going away to Marble Town.
