Go 'way from my window

Language: English

Go 'way from my window, go 'way from my door
Go 'way, 'way, 'way from my bedside and bother me no more,
And bother me no more
 
I'll give you back your letters, I'll give you back your ring
But I'll ne'er forget my own true love as long as songbirds sing,
As long as songbirds sings
 
I'll go tell all my brothers, tell all my sisters too
That the reason why my heart is broke is on account of you,
Is on account of you.
 
Go on your way be happy, Go on your way and rest
Remember, dear, that you're the one I really did love best,
I really did love best
 
Go 'way from my window, go 'way from my door
Go 'way, 'way, 'way from my bedside and bother me no more,
And bother me no more.
