John Phillips

Chorus:
Well, I'm goin' away for to leave you Might not come back any more (more, more)
If I never more see your face again, then it's honey on that far distant, distant shore Honey on that far distant shore

Well, now, I'm goin' down to New Orleans, just to ride on the river boat
Gotta keep bailin' all night long just to keep the darn boat afloat

(Chorus)

Here is where I was born and raised, where the cold, cold North wind blows
But I'm goin' back to old Tennessee where my good gal only knows

(Chorus)

Keep a light in your window Keep it burnin' bright
Someday I'm gonna come a-knockin' at your door Baby, I'll treat you right

(Chorus)
