[4] The sheet music can be found at Pritzker Military Museum & Library.

The chorus is as follows:[2] I wish I had never seen sunshine I wish I had never seen rain I wish that your soul had not been my goal A prize that I sought all in vain I only wish someone told me That love that you gave me was untrue And I wish I had died in my cradle Before I grew up to love you.
