He's Gone Away
But he's coming back if he goes ten thousand miles.
And who will tie your shoes?
And who will glove your hands?
And who will kiss your ruby lips when he is gone?
Look away, look away, look away over Yandro
He's gone away for to stay a little while,
But he's coming back if he goes ten thousand miles.
And papa will tie my shoes,
And mamma will glove my hands,
And you will kiss my ruby lips when you come back!
Look away, look away over Yandro!
He's gone away for to stay a little while,
But he's coming back if he goes ten thousand miles.
To build me a cabin on Yandro's mountain high
Where all the wild beasts can't hear me; will I cry?
Look away, look away over Yandro!
