He's Gone Away Songtext
von Kathleen Battle

He′s goin' away for to stay a little while
But he′s comin' back if he go ten thousand mile
And who will tie your shoes
And who will gloves your hand
And who will kiss your ruby lips
When he is gone?
Look away, look away over yonder
He's going away for to stay a little while
But he′s comin′ back if he go ten thousand mile
And Papa will tie my shoes
And Mama will glove my hands And you will kiss my ruby lips
When you come back
Look away, look away over yonder
He's goin′ away for to stay a little while
But he's comin′ back if he go ten thousand mile
To build me a cabin
O'er yonder mountain high
Where all the wild birds can′t hear me
When I cry
Look away, look away over yonder
