Go away from my window
Go away from my door
Go away from my bedside
Don't bother me, no more
Don't bother me, no more

I'll give you back your letters
I'll give you back your ring
But I'll never get my own true love
As long as songbirds sing
As long as songbirds sing

I'll go tell all my sisters
Tell all my brothers too
The reason my poor 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
But please remember, honey
I really did love you best
I really did love you best
