(John Jacob Niles)
Go away from my window
Go away from my door
Go away from my bedside
And bother me no more
And bother me no more
I'll go and tell my brothers
I'll tell my sister too
The reason why my heart is broke
Is on account of you
Is on account of you
I'll give you back your letters
I'll give you back your ring
But I'll never forget my own true love
As long as songbirds sing
As long as songbirds sing
Go away from my window
Go away from my door
Go away way way from my beside
And bother me no more
And bother me no more
Go away from my window
Go away from my door
Go away from my bedside
And bother me no more
And bother me no more
I'll go and tell my brothers
I'll tell my sister too
The reason why my heart is broke
Is on account of you
Is on account of you
I'll give you back your letters
I'll give you back your ring
But I'll never forget my own true love
As long as songbirds sing
As long as songbirds sing
Go away from my window
Go away from my door
Go away way way from my beside
And bother me no more
And bother me no more
