He's gone away

\

He's gone away

For to stay a little while,
But he's coming back
If he goes 10,000 miles.
Oh who will tie my shoe
And who will glove my hand
And who will kiss
My ruby lips when he is gone.

Look Away, Look Away,
Over Yonder.

He's gone away for to stay
A little while,
But he's coming back if he
Goes 10,000 miles.
And its papa who ties my shoe
And mama who gloves my hand
And you will kiss my ruby lips
When he is gone.

Look Away, Look Away,

Over Yonder.
