She's Leavin' (bonnie Please Don't Go)

She's leavin' she's leavin' she's on the ship now and 
leavin'
Standing by the gateway tossin' streamers over my way I 
find it kinda hard believin'
Deceivin' deceivin' my subtle game of deceivin'
Standing here and waving blowin' kisses and behavin'
Like it doesn't matter much to see her leavin'

I don't know what I don't know who I don't know where she's
 goin' to
I only know she's goin' out of my life
Across the sea a wavin' hands and Col'nel Billy's farewell 
band
I watch the disappearin' face of my wife
And I'm doin' all I can to hide the sad confusion in my 
mind
And brace myself with every trick I know
And though my lips are beating time to the words of Auld 
Lang Syne
My voice keeps on defyin' cryin' Bonnie please don't go

Oh that fool in me persuadin' me to hide the broken pieces 
of my dignity
When a simple reassuring word just to reach out and comfort
 her
Was all I had to say to keep her here with me
And I don't know what I don't know where I don't know who 
she's goin' to...
She's leavin' she's leavin'...
