Going a-way to a faraway land
[G/f#] /
And I'm going away for a while
I'll re-turn to you my love
Though I'll go ten thousand miles

The sun will dry the ocean
Heaven will cease to be
The world will lose its motion my love
If I prove false to thee

Who's gonna shoe your pretty little feet
Who's gonna glove your hand
Who's gonna kiss your sweet ruby lips
While I'm in a faraway land

Father will shoe my pretty little feet
And my brother will glove my hand
And you can kiss my sweet ruby lips
When you return again

The sun will dry the ocean
Heaven will cease to be
The world will lose its motion my love
If I prove false to thee
Verse 4
And who's gonna brush your long yellow hair
Who's gonna pay your fees
Who's gonna father those sweet little babes
While Im on the raging sea

Mother will brush my long yellow hair
Daddy has paid my fees
There wont be any sweet little babes
While you're away from me

The sun will dry the ocean

If I prove false to thee

Night wind go tell my sailor man
I'll be waiting in the day
I long to feel his warm em-brace
In this cold and hardy year

The sun will dry the ocean
Heaven will cease to be
The world will lose its motion my love
If I prove false to thee
If I prove false to thee
I hope I've done it justice!
