GOIN' ACROSS THE WORLD
performed by Virgil Anderson

(Banjo Break)

I'm goin' 'cross the ocean babe of mine, babe of mine
I'm goin' 'cross the ocean babe of mine.
I'm goin' 'cross the ocean if I don't change my notion
I'm goin' 'cross that ocean babe of mine.

(Banjo Break)

Now I'm goin' 'cross the water babe of mine babe of mine
I'm goin' 'cross the water babe of mine.
I'm goin' 'cross the water to see my wife and daughter
I'm goin' 'cross the water babe of mine.

(Banjo Break)

I hope I never get back what you gonna do babe of mine?
I hope I never get back what you gonna do?
I hope I never get back babe of mine what you gonna do?
I walk the floor and cry all over you.

(Banjo Break)

Oh it's if I get drowned what ya gonna do, what ya gonna do?
Oh it's if I get drowned what ya gonna do
Oh if I get drowned babe of mine don't you cry
Oh if I get drowned don't you cry.

(Banjo Break)

Now I'm goin' 'round this world, babe of mine, babe of mine
I'm goin' 'round this world, babe of mine
Oh I'm goin' 'round this world, come back and pick a girl
I'm goin' 'round this world, babe of mine

I'm goin' 'cross the ocean babe of mine, babe of mine
I'm goin' 'cross the ocean babe of mine.
I'm goin' 'cross the ocean if I don't change my notion
I'm goin' 'cross that ocean babe of mine.
