Away-o Away-o Away-o On you go

A wrinkle in my sail
I know that air ain't free
Billy took out his needle and thread
And said these words to me:

Away-o Away-o Away-o On you go

A new face in my bed fulfilled a vacancy
Outstretched arms that touched my soul
And made sweet love to me

Away-o Away-o Away-o On you go

My dog, he died a year ago
Right by his burial place
I knelt down; an old greyhound
He came and licked my face

Away-o Away-o Away-o On you go
