He's Gone 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 shoes ?
And who will glove your hands ?
And who will kiss your ruby lips when I am gone?
Oh, it's pappy'll tie my shoes,
And mammy'll glove my hands,
And you will kiss mg ruby lips when you come back!
Oh, he's gone, he's gone away,
For to stay a little while;
But he's comin' back if he goes ten thousand miles.
Look away, look away , look away over Yandro,
On Yandro's high hill, where them white doves are flyin'
From bough to bough and a-matin' with their mates,
So why not me with mine?
For he's gone, oh he's gone away
For to stay a little while,
But he's comin' back if he goes ten thousand miles.
I'll go build me a desrick on Yandro's high hill,
Where the wild beasts won't bother me nor hear my sad cry
For he's gone, he's gone away for to stay a little while,
But he's comin' back if he goes ten thousand miles
