Thread Name: Lyr Req: Go 'Way from My Window
Subject: Lyr Add: GO 'WAY FROM MY WINDOW (John Jacob Niles)
GO 'WAY FROM MY WINDOW
As sung by John Jacob Niles on "John Jacob Niles Sings Folk Songs" (1964).

Go 'way from my window; go 'way from my do'.
Go 'way, 'way, 'way from my bedside and bother me no mo',
And bother me no mo'.

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 sing.

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 do'.
Go 'way, 'way, 'way from my bedside and bother me no mo',
And bother me no mo'.
