Please, sir, I'm a stranger And I have no place to go Could you help me find some shelter That would hold me through the snow I have come from off that mountain Where my true love, she broke my heart I am looking for a brand new life But I don't know just where to start Sing a sad song, sing it for me Sing a sad song, I'm crying So I told him, I told him I, too, was traveling And I, too, had come very far And my only, my only consolation Was to play on my guitar And as I sang, his tears were falling Till the snow bank, the snow bank, it held his hand And in the morning snow, the snow was flowing I found, I found my little friend again Sing a sad song, sing it for me Sing a sad song, I'm, I'm crying Oh, sing a sad song, sing it for me Sing a sad song, I'm crying I'm crying I'm crying
