He's gone away for to stay a little while
But he's comin' back if he goes ten thousand miles
And who will tie my shoe? And who will glove my hand?
And who will kiss my ruby lips when he is gone?
Look away, look away over Yandro.
Papa will shoe your pretty little foot
and Mama will glove your hand
Who will be your own true love
when I'm in some foreign land, love,
I'm in some foreign land.
He's gone away for to stay a little while
But he's comin' back if he goes ten thousand miles
Papa will tie my shoe, and Mama will glove my hand
But who will kiss my ruby lips when he is gone?
Look away, look away over Yandro.
I don't care what no other woman says,
Her hair be black or brown,
I'd rather be on top of some old hill
with the rain a pourin' down oh,
the rain a pourin' down.
I truly understand if you have found another man
And your heart will no longer be mine.
