Oh I’m going to leave this country
Lord I’m going around this world
Oh I’m going to leave this country
For the sake of one little girl
Oh I ain’t gonna work tomorrow
I ain’t gonna work next day
Lord I ain’t gonna work tomorrow
For it may be a rainy day
Don’t you hear my banjo ringing
Dint’t you hear that mournful sound
Don’t you hear those pretty girls laughing
Standing on the cold cold ground
Oh I’ll hang my head in sorrow
Lord I’ll hang my head and cry
Oh I’ll hang my head in sorrow
As my darling passes by
[1] Oh I’m going to leave this country
Lord I’m going a-[5]-round this [1] world
Oh I’m [4] going to leave this [1] country
For the sake of [5] one little [1] girl
Oh I ain’t gonna work tomorrow
I ain’t gonna work next day
Lord I ain’t gonna work tomorrow
For it may be a rainy day
Don’t you hear my banjo ringing
Dint’t you hear that mournful sound
Don’t you hear those pretty girls laughing
Standing on the cold cold ground
Oh I’ll hang my head in sorrow
Lord I’ll hang my head and cry
Oh I’ll hang my head in sorrow
As my darling passes by
