I’m going away to stay awhile

Just to ease my worried mind

You never cared for me my love

So I’m leaving you behind

It’s been this way so long my dear

E   A         E
Why can’t you understand

All through these lonely years

I keep your picture here with me

Just to dry these bitter tears

Your selfish heart broke up our home
