    Eb    Ab   Eb
I’m going away for to leave you love

But I’ll return to you sometime

If I go ten thousand miles

The storms are on the ocean

Oh who’s gonna shoe your pretty little feet
Who’s gonna glove your little hand
Who’s gonna kiss your ruby red lips
When I’m in a foreign land

Verse 3

Oh see that lonesome turtledove
   Eb       Bb   Eb
As he flies from pine to pine
       Eb       Ab  Eb
He’s a mourning for his own true love
     Eb  Bb          Eb
Just the way I mourn for mine
