Goodbye girl. Gone to see the world,

Out to see everything but me.

Your letters aint coming that much any more

Your letters aint coming at all.

I've been to Memphis; I've been to Rome,

But because you were here, I came back home.

Now I'm not trying to place any blame

But I came back for you now I'd expect you do the same.

Travellin', travellin' so, so far away

If your comin' home.

You'd better leave now,

You better leave now.

Good-bye girl gone to see the world,

Out to see every thing you choose

Now it's becoming so clear

That your feet are planted deep

In your travellin' shoes

Travellin', travellin' so, so far away

If your comin' home.

You'd better leave now,

You better leave now.
