I'm goin' away, I'm leaving today,
I'm goin' away for to stay;
I'm goin' away, not much I can say,
Just goin' away for to stay.
I've spent near all my younger years upon the rugged shore,
Today I will be leavin' now, I won't be back no more;
I look around and all I see are memories of the past,
Memories of family and friends who've not come back.
I'm goin' away, I'm leaving today,
I'm goin' away for to stay;
I'm goin' away, not much I can say,
Just goin' away for to stay.
I've settled in another place much different than my home,
Have a wife and family, two children of my own;
I get up early every day and go to earn my pay,
I often wonder about my home far away.
I'm goin' away, I'm leaving today,
I'm goin' away for to stay;
I'm goin' away, not much I can say,
Just goin' away for to stay.
As the years go passing by into my middle age,
I often sit and reminisce about my younger days;
I'll not return again upon that rugged shore,
I recall the day I left and not return no more.
I'm goin' away, I'm leaving today,
I'm goin' away for to stay;
I'm goin' away, not much I can say,
Just goin' away for to stay.
I'm goin' away, I'm leaving today,
I'm goin' away for to stay;
I'm goin' away, not much I can say,
Just goin' away for to stay.
I'm goin' away, I'm leaving today,
I'm goin' away for to stay;
I'm goin' away, not much I can say,
Just goin' away for to stay.
Just goin' away for to stay.
