(John Phillips)

[Chorus:]
|
Well, I'm goin' away for to leave you. Might not come back any more (more, more)
|
If I never more see your face again, then it's honey on that far distant, distant shore. Honey on that far distant shore.
|
|
Well, now, I'm goin' down to New Orleans, just to ride on the river boat.
|
Gotta keep bailin' all night long just to keep the darn boat afloat.
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
Here is where I was born and raised, where the cold, cold North wind blows.
|
But I'm goin' back to old Tennessee where my good gal only knows.
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
Keep a light in your window. Keep it burnin' bright.
|
Someday I'm gonna come a-knockin' at your door. Baby, I'll treat you right.
|
|
[Chorus]
