Lyrics
i m a-going to leave this country
I m a-going to leave this country, i ll hang my head in sorrow Going, and it give my poor heart grief
I ll hang my head in sorrow, for the sake of one little girl, well i ain t going to work tomorrow
I am nobody s darling, and she s courting whoever she please Ain't, don t you hear this mournful sound
and she s courting whoever she please
Now she s got her back turned on me, i m a-going around this world, i lost my money in gambling
For it be a wet, for the sake of one little girl, i am nobody s darling
She told me that she loved me, for the sake of one little girl, i ll hang my head and cry
I ll hang my head in sorrow, i m a-going to leave this country
For the sake of one little girl, don t you hear this mournful sound Tomorrow, don t you hear those pretty girls laughing
I ll hang my head in sorrow, i m a-going to leave this country, i m a-going around this world
Don t you hear those pretty girls laughing, don t you hear this mournful sound, i m a-going to leave this country
I ll hang my head in sorrow, for the sake of one little girl Carter, for it be a wet
I m a-going to leave this country, for it be a wet, now she s got her back turned on me
I m a-going to leave this country, i ll hang my head and cry
and it give my poor heart grief
and nobody cares for me
I ll hang my head in sorrow, and she s courting whoever she please, i m a-going to leave this country
don t you hear my banjo ringing
I ll hang my head in sorrow, for it be a wet to, and i may not work next day
i lost my money in gambling
i ll hang my head in sorrow
Now she s got her back turned on me, standing on the cold
