I'm a going to leave this country, I'm a going around this world, I'm a going to leave this country for the sake of one little girl. Well, she told me that she loved me and it gives my poor heart ease, when she's got her back turned on me she's courting whoever she please. Well, I lost my money in gambling, and I lost my name, you see, I am nobody's darling and nobody cares for me. Don’t you hear my banjo ringing, don’t you hear this mournful sound, don’t you hear those pretty girls laughing, standing on the cold cold ground. I'll hang my head in sorrow, I'll hang my head and cry, I'll hang my head in sorrow as my darling passes by. Well, I ain’t going to work tomorrow, and I may not work next day I ain’t going to work tomorrow for it'll be a wet, rainy day.
