1. For me the sun doth ne - ver shine,
For me there is no peace,
A wea - ry, drea - ry lot is mine,
My troubles nev - er cease,
A wea - ry, drea - ry lot is mine,
My troubles nev - er cease.

A stranger to joy and glee,
With ne - ver a mo - ment free,
There’s rest for me ne - ver,
For ev - er and ev - er
A Go - ver - ness I must be,
A sad and sor - row - ful, tired - out
Go - ver - ness I must ev - er be.

2. And will the sun ne’er shine a - gain
As in the days of yore?
Ah, no! my hopes have been in vain,
And will be ev - er - more.
Ah, no! my hopes have been in vain,
And will be ev - er - more.
