Goin' Away for to Leave You

Chorus:
Well, i'm goin' away for to leave you. might not come back 
any
More (more, more)
If i never more see your face again, then it's honey on 
that far
Distant, distant shore. honey on that far distant shore.

Well, now, i'm goin' down to new orleans, just to ride on 
the
River boat.
Gotta keep bailin' all night long just to keep the darn 
boat
Afloat.

(chorus)

Here is where i was born and raised, where the cold, cold 
north
Wind blows.
But i'm goin' back to old tennessee where my good gal only
Knows.

(chorus)

Keep a light in your window. keep it burnin' bright.
Someday i'm gonna come a-knockin' at your door. baby, i'll 
treat
You right.

(chorus)
