I'm goin' away, my true love
I'm goin' away to stay
I am goin' away, my true love
I'm leavin' you today

I remember when we first met
It was on the Bourbon Sea
I remember when we first met
We were drunk as drunk could be
Oh, when I'm gone, you might see me
I'll be rollin' on the ground
When I'm gone, you might see me
I'll be laughin' like a clown
'Cause I am goin' away, my true love
I'm goin' away to stay
I am goin' away, my true love
I'm leavin' you today

Things go round and round in this trailblazin' mind
Do these words make any sense?
If I lose all capability
Will you pay my last expense?
'Cause I am goin' away, my true love
I'm goin' away to stay
I am goin' away, my true love
I'm leavin' you today
I am goin' away, my true love
I am goin' away to stay
I am goin' away, my true love
I'm leavin' you today
I'll be leavin' you today
