[Intro]
You know I'm going away
Don't know when I'm coming back, yeah
I'm going away, child
Don't know when I'll be coming back
I may come by automobile
I may come by the railroad track
[Verse 1]
You know I'm leaving this morning, and I'll be having lots of fun
Having a good time, just me and my friends alone
I tell you, people, you don't know what you're missing on
[Chorus]
Well, I'm going away
Don't know when I'll be coming back
Ah, I'm going away, child
Don't know when I'll be coming back
I may be comin' by automobile
Or comin' down the railroad track
Hey... yeah
[Verse 2]
When I see you next year, I hope you're doing fine
When I see you next year, baby, I hope you're doing fine
I'm gonna get me anothеr woman, I'm gonna treat her mighty fine
Yеah... yeah... woo!
[Chorus]
Well, I'm going away
Don't know when I'll be coming back, I don't know
I'm a-going away, child
Don't know when I'll be coming back, yeah
Well, I tell you baby, I'll be coming back, easy now
[Outro]
Well, I'm going away, child
Don't know when I'll be back soon
Very dark here tonight
And there ain't no lot of moon
I hope to see you, baby
You'll never call me by the June
Alright... yeah, man, stroke it
