I’m Goin’ Away

I’m goin’ away for to stay a little while,
But I’m comin’ back if I go ten thousand miles.
Oh, who will tie your shoe?
And who will glove your hand?
And who will kiss your ruby lips when I am gone?
Look away, look away over Yandro…

I’m goin’ away for to stay for a little while,
But I’m comin’ back if I go ten thousand miles.
Oh, it’s Pappy will tie your shoe,
And Mammy will glove your hand,
And I will kiss your ruby lips when I come back!
Look away, look away over Yandro…
