Another version of "The Inconstant Lover," sharing similar verses and the tune.

Go build me a log cabin on the mountain so high,
Where the wild goose can't find me or hear my sad cry.

It's trouble, it's trouble,
It's trouble on my mind;
If trouble don't kill me
I'll sure live a long time.

They will hug you, they will kiss you,
they will tell you more lies
Than cross ties on railroads,
and stars in the skies.
