Lyrics:

I'm goin' away for to stay a little while
But I'm comin' back if I go ten thousand miles
Oh who will tie your shoes
And who will glove your hand
And who will kiss your ruby lips when I am gone
Look away, look away, over yondro The morning sun will return your glowing smile
For I'm comin' back if I go ten thousand miles
Then I will tie your shoes
And I will glove your hand
And I will kiss your ruby lips when I return
Look away, look away, over yondro
